Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup full fat cottage cheese (225g)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup rolled oats (100g)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions 

  • Add all the ingredients to a blender in the order listed. Blend until smooth and well combined, scraping down the sides if needed.
  • Lightly grease the waffle maker if needed, then pour in the batter (I like to use a 1/2 measuring cup) and cook according to your machine’s instructions—usually about 3–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and rich, satisfying flavor.
  • Blend until completely smooth so there are no curds and the oats break down fully for a uniform batter.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes to thicken and help the waffles turn out fluffier.
  • Preheat your waffle maker fully for even cooking and a crisp, golden exterior.
  • Lightly grease the waffle maker, even if nonstick, to prevent sticking—especially for the first batch.
  • Keep waffles warm on a wire rack in a 200°F oven if making a big batch to prevent sogginess.
