Description
Cottage Cheese Cloud Waffles are light, fluffy waffles made with cottage cheese for a protein-packed, creamy-textured breakfast or brunch option that’s both satisfying and delicious.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (omit for savory)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for sweet)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
Pinch of salt
Butter or oil (for greasing waffle iron)
Instructions
- Preheat and lightly grease your waffle iron.
- In a bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener, and salt until smooth.
- Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook for 3–5 minutes, until golden and fluffy.
- Carefully remove waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For savory waffles, omit vanilla, cinnamon, and sweetener; add herbs like chives or parsley.
Try mix-ins like chocolate chips or berries for added flavor.
Use all-purpose flour instead of almond flour if preferred (texture will vary).
To go low-carb/keto, use coconut flour instead of almond flour (a smaller amount).
To freeze: cook waffles, cool completely, then freeze with parchment between. Reheat in toaster.
