Whip up these simple, high-protein cottage cheese waffles. They are naturally low in carbohydrates and require no flour, making them a perfect keto-friendly breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates if necessary.
  2. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and sweetener (if using) into a blender.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This step is key for a good texture.
  4. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron. Use the amount appropriate for your iron size, usually about 1/2 cup per waffle.
  5. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and firm to the touch. Do not lift the lid too early, as this can cause sticking or tearing.
  6. Carefully remove the waffle and serve immediately with your favorite low-carb toppings.

Notes

  • For the crispiest waffles, let the batter rest for 5 minutes after blending before cooking.
  • If you do not have a blender, you can use an immersion blender or vigorously whisk the ingredients until the cottage cheese curds are fully broken down.
  • To prevent sogginess, serve immediately or place cooked waffles on a wire rack in a single layer in a warm oven (200°F) while you finish the rest of the batch.
  • You can substitute the sweetener with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened protein powder for an extra protein boost, though this may slightly alter the texture.
