Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Batter

In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oats, vanilla, baking powder, salt, and sweetener.
Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 2: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions.
Lightly grease with non-stick spray or melted butter.

Step 3: Cook the Waffles

Pour the batter into the waffle iron (about ½ to ¾ cup per waffle, depending on size).
Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 4: Serve

Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
For crispier waffles, toast them before serving or after reheating.

Notes

Use a Non-Stick Waffle Iron – These waffles are delicate and cook best on non-stick surfaces.
Blend Smooth – This ensures a fluffy texture and even cooking.
Let the Batter Rest – It helps the oats absorb moisture and thicken.
Make it Savory – Omit the vanilla and sweetener, then add chopped herbs or shredded cheese.
Double the Batch – Freeze extras for a grab-and-go breakfast.
