Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or stevia (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Coconut oil spray or non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Step 1: Blend the Batter
Place the cottage cheese, egg, oat flour, baking powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no cottage cheese curds remain. Let the batter sit for 2 minutes; this allows the oat flour to hydrate, resulting in a fluffier waffle. - Step 2: Prepare the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Take a silicone waffle mold that fits inside your air fryer basket and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray. Carefully pour the blended batter into the mold, filling each cavity about 3/4 of the way full. Do not overfill, as the batter will rise during the cooking process. - Step 3: Air Fry and Flip
Place the mold into the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 8 minutes. Gently check the firmness; if the top is golden, carefully flip the waffles out of the mold directly onto the air fryer tray. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to ensure the bottom gets perfectly crispy. Remove carefully using tongs. - Step 4: Plating
Transfer the hot waffles to a plate. Top them with fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup. Serve immediately while the edges are still crunchy and the center is warm.
