Servings: 4
Equipment
- Waffle maker
- Small bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch salt
- Butter for greasing the waffle maker
Instructions
- In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend or whisk until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
- Preheat the waffle maker and lightly grease it with butter.
- Pour the batter into the waffle maker, spreading evenly. Close the lid and cook until golden and crisp, following your waffle maker’s instructions.
- Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of chopped pecans or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, increase baking powder to 1½ teaspoons.
- For a sweeter waffle, add up to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the batter.
- Cottage cheese adds moisture and protein; blending ensures a smooth texture without curds.
