Blueberry Cottage Cheese Waffles
Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and bursting with blueberries—these protein-packed waffles bring the brunch vibes with a cheeky wink. Cottage cheese keeps them moist and creamy, and they're ridiculously easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or sub with whole wheat
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese full-fat preferred
- 1/2 cup milk any kind
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp sugar or honey
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- Blend cottage cheese, milk, egg, and melted butter in a blender until smooth. No blender? Mash cottage cheese and whisk everything by hand.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Fold in the blueberries gently.
- Preheat waffle iron and spray with non-stick spray. Pour in batter and cook until golden and crisp.
- Serve immediately with extra blueberries, syrup, or yogurt—or straight from the waffle iron if you're feeling wild.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for maximum creaminess and be sure to drain any excess liquid first. Want to keep it gluten-free or dairy-free? Easy swaps work just fine. Freeze leftovers with parchment between layers and reheat in a toaster for the crisp comeback they deserve.
