Description

Delicious and wholesome whole wheat waffles made with cottage cheese for added protein and moisture. These waffles combine the nutty flavor of whole wheat flour with warm cinnamon and vanilla, resulting in a thick batter that cooks to golden, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside waffles perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup cottage cheese
  • 3 Large eggs
  • 1 1/3 Cups milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir together to ensure the leavening and spices are evenly distributed. Set this mixture aside.
  2. Blend Wet Ingredients: Place the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the cottage cheese is thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the blended wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk together until you form a thick yet pourable batter. If the batter seems too thick, add a small amount of additional milk until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Preheat Waffle Maker: Turn on your waffle maker and heat it according to the manufacturer’s instructions to get it ready for cooking.
  5. Cook Waffles: Pour a portion of the batter onto the center of the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook the waffles as per your waffle maker’s directions until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve and Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the iron. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make additional waffles.

Notes

  • You can adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more milk if necessary to achieve the right pourable consistency.
  • Make sure your waffle maker is well preheated to ensure crisp waffles.
  • For extra flavor, consider topping waffles with fresh fruit, syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
  • Using whole wheat flour increases fiber content and adds a nutty flavor compared to regular flour.
  • This recipe yields about 10 waffles, depending on your waffle maker size.
