Ingredients

1, 16 ounce container of cottage cheese (2 cups)
½ cup milk (regular milk or almond milk)
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons avocado oil or melted butter

Instructions

Preheat the waffle maker. Add cottage cheese and milk to a blender. Blend on high for 10 seconds until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and maple syrup and blend for another 10 seconds until completely smooth.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix until combined.
Add the cottage cheese mixture from the blender to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Next, fold in the avocado oil or butter. Feel free to fold in chocolate chips or any other optional mix-ins here!
Spray avocado or olive oil spray on the preheated waffle iron. Add the appropriate amount of batter. Note that the amount will vary depending on the size of your waffle maker. Cook the waffle until golden brown on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Notes

Save Time/Prep Ahead:
- You can prepare the batter ahead of time and store covered in the refrigerator. Whisk the batter before making the waffles.
- Make a batch of waffles for meal prep and store them in the freezer until ready to eat. It makes for a quick and easy breakfast!
