Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron to medium heat to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well and set aside.
- Blend Cottage Cheese and Almond Milk: Add the cottage cheese and almond milk to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth for a creamy waffle texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Transfer the blended cottage cheese mixture to a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the egg and melted coconut oil until fully incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to form the waffle batter.
- Cook Waffles: Spray both sides of the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Scoop about ½ cup of batter onto the iron, close the lid, and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or nuts.
Notes
- To freeze: Place cooled waffles in a gallon freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months for easy future breakfasts.
- To reheat in toaster: Toast waffles until defrosted and golden brown for a crispy finish.
- To reheat in microwave: Cook on high for 30 seconds, flip, and cook for an additional 30 seconds until warm.
- Use cooking spray generously on the waffle iron to prevent sticking.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with a silken tofu or vegan cream cheese alternative.
