Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)

2 large eggs

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, nut butter, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to blend until smooth. If you prefer a lump-free batter, blend the cottage cheese first before adding the other wet ingredients.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure that the baking powder and baking soda are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

      Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure that the waffles remain fluffy.

        Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

          Cook the Waffles: Pour a ladleful of batter into the preheated waffle iron, ensuring it covers the surface evenly. Close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron, so keep an eye on them.

            Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and set them on a wire rack. This will prevent them from getting soggy. Serve warm with your choice of toppings like fresh berries, bananas, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
