Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large (100g) eggs
  • 1/2 cup (60g) oat flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1g salt

Instructions:

  1. Combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a high-speed blender. Process on high for 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no cottage cheese curds remain.
  2. Add the oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the blender. Pulse 3–5 times just until combined; do not over-mix.
  3. Allow the batter to rest for 3–5 minutes to let the leavening agents activate and the flour hydrate.
  4. Preheat a non-stick waffle iron to medium-high and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter per waffle and cook until the steam stops escaping from the iron and the exterior is deep golden-brown.
