Ingredients
  

Waffle Batter

  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for a sweet version
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your waffle maker until it reaches full heat.
  • Add cottage cheese, oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla, and salt to a blender.
  • Blend until smooth and thick. The batter should be pourable but not runny.
  • Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or butter.
  • Pour about half a cup of batter onto the hot surface.
  • Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the edges are golden and steam subsides.
  • Remove carefully and let rest for 1 minute before serving.
  • Tip: For crispier waffles, extend the cooking time by 30 seconds and avoid overfilling the waffle iron.

Notes

These waffles are excellent for meal prep — refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster or air fryer for a crispy texture. Enjoy them sweet with fruit and maple syrup or savory with eggs and avocado.
