Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)

3 large eggs

1 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Cooking spray or a little oil for the waffle iron

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Blend the Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps from the cottage cheese.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined, making sure not to overmix.

          Prepare the Waffle Iron: Lightly spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with a little oil to prevent sticking.

            Cook the Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (approximately 1/2 cup, but adjust according to your waffle iron's size). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through (about 4-6 minutes, depending on your waffle iron).

              Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of more honey or maple syrup.

                Store Leftovers: If you have leftover waffles, let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster for the best texture!
