Instructions

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, milk, oil, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine: Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick but pourable.

5. Cook waffles: Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 cup per waffle, adjust per your iron size). Cook 4–6 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

6. Serve immediately: Top with your choice of fresh fruit, extra cottage cheese, or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup.

Dietary Adaptations

• Lower sugar: Omit honey/maple syrup; add fruit for natural sweetness.

Tips & Troubleshooting

• Cottage cheese texture: For a smoother batter, blend the cottage cheese briefly in a food processor.

• Crispier waffles: Cook an extra 1–2 minutes for a firmer exterior.

• Batter too thick: Add 1–2 tbsp milk at a time until desired consistency.

• Batter too thin: Add a little more whole wheat flour or oat flour.
