Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)

1/2 cup oats (rolled or quick oats)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, almond milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

    Preheat the Waffle Iron: While your batter is blending, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.

      Cook the Waffles: Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the center of the hot waffle iron (typically around 1/2 to 2/3 cup), being careful not to overfill. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. (Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron.)

        Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a cooling rack. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. Serve warm, topped with fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of additional honey or maple syrup.
