Make these incredibly fluffy cottage cheese waffles using a blender for a quick, high-protein breakfast. This recipe yields light waffles with crispy edges, perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with oat flour for gluten free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Cooking spray or butter for the waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract (if using) into a blender.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for achieving a fluffy texture.
  4. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended for your specific iron size.
  5. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Carefully remove the waffle and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of oat flour or almond flour.
  • To make these Keto Chaffles, omit the flour entirely and add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese (like mozzarella) to the blender mixture. Cook in a mini waffle maker.
  • These waffles freeze well. Cool completely, then place parchment paper between layers in a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster for a quick meal prep breakfast.
  • For extra crispy waffles, lightly brush the cooked sides with melted butter before serving.
