Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats work best)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Start by preheating your waffle iron to its medium-high setting. While the iron heats up, place the cottage cheese, rolled oats, and eggs into a high-speed blender. Blend the mixture on high for about 30 to 45 seconds until the batter is completely smooth and no oat bits or cottage cheese curds remain. Let the batter sit for 2 minutes; this allows the oats to hydrate, which results in a fluffier texture.
- Lightly coat your waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small brush of melted butter. Pour approximately half of the batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Do not open the lid too early, as these waffles need a bit more time than flour-based ones to set properly. They are ready when the steam stops escaping the iron and the exterior is a deep golden brown.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a silicone spatula or a fork. Place it on a wire rack for one minute to allow the steam to escape; this prevents the bottom from getting soggy. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve your waffles warm with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
