Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 â…“ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup canola oil (or preferred oil)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups small curd cottage cheese (2% milkfat)
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (to thin, if needed)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and brown sugar until fully combined.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and oil to a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the cottage cheese is well incorporated.
- Mix Batter: Pour the blended wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Add milk a tablespoon or two at a time as needed to achieve a pourable batter consistency, stirring only as necessary.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Grease or oil the waffle cavities well to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour just under ½ cup of batter into each waffle cavity. Cook until waffles are golden brown and cooked through, typically about 3 to 5 minutes depending on your waffle maker and preferred crispness.
- Serve and Store: Remove waffles carefully and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fruit, or butter. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use small curd cottage cheese for a smoother texture; 2% milkfat cottage cheese balances creaminess and moisture.
- Adjust milk quantity to achieve the desired batter consistency; thicker batter produces denser waffles, thinner batter yields lighter waffles.
- Grease the waffle iron well to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of waffles.
- Waffle cook times vary; start checking at 3 minutes and cook longer if needed based on your waffle iron’s heat level.
- Leftover waffles can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick meal.
