Make these simple cottage cheese waffles for a high-protein breakfast that is fluffy inside and crispy outside. This blender recipe is quick to prepare and freezer friendly for easy meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates with cooking spray or oil.
  2. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract (if using) into a blender.
  3. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth. You should not see any lumps of cottage cheese. 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 until the waffle is golden brown and crispy, usually 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove the waffle and serve immediately, or place on a wire rack to cool before freezing for later.

Notes

  • For extra crispy edges, lightly brush the batter with melted butter just before closing the waffle iron lid.
  • If you prefer a lower-carb option, substitute the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of almond flour.
  • These waffles freeze well. Cool them completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
  • Serve with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a complete protein packed breakfast.
