Servings: 4
Yield: 4 waffles
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Cooking Vessel: Waffle iron
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 cup cottage cheese (kosher-certified)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, kosher-certified)
2 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil
1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, kosher-certified)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, additional cottage cheese, or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, milk, oil, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine: Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick but pourable.
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.
Serve immediately: Top with your choice of fresh fruit, extra cottage cheese, or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup.

Dietary Adaptations
Gluten-free: Use a gluten-free flour blend instead of whole wheat flour.
Dairy-free: Substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative and use almond or soy milk.
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.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with fresh berries and a dollop of cottage cheese for a protein-rich breakfast.
Top with nut butter and sliced bananas for added flavor and healthy fats.
Great for meal prep—freeze extra waffles and reheat in a toaster or oven.
Notes
This recipe is kosher dairy; do not serve with meat.
Whole grain and cottage cheese combination boosts fiber and protein, keeping you full longer.
Experiment with spices like nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for seasonal variations.
