Cottage Cheese Waffles

Three waffles stacked on a plate topped with almond butter, blueberries, and pecans with honey being poured on top. A small bowl of blueberries and a small bowl of pumpkin seeds in the background. There's a golden fork next to the waffles and a golden napkin to the side.

Equipment

Belgian Waffle Maker

Ingredients

2 cups quick oats
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
½ tsp sea salt
2 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
⅓ cup milk or water
2 Tbsp avocado oil
2 Tbsp pure maple syrup or honey optional

Instructions

Transfer the oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and sea salt to a high-speed blender or a food processor and blend for 60 seconds, or until a flour forms.
Add in the eggs, cottage cheese, milk (or water), avocado oil, and pure maple syrup (the wet ingredients). Blend until everything is well combined and a smooth batter forms.
Turn on your waffle iron and wait for a few minutes to allow it to heat up all the way. Note: You can use a Belgian waffle maker or a mini waffle iron. Spray the waffle irons with cooking spray. Measure out ½ cup of waffle batter and transfer it to the preheated waffle iron. Replace the lid and wait for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle iron indicates that the cooking process is complete.
Use a butter knife to help lift the waffle from the iron and transfer it to a plate.
Repeat for the remaining batter.
Serve waffles with your choice of toppings! Butter, peanut butter (or almond butter), fresh fruit such as fresh blueberries or sliced banana, a sprinkle of nuts or seeds, and pure maple syrup or honey are all lovely options.
