Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet version)
  • 1 tbsp butter (melted)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sweetener of choice (optional, for sweet version)

Equipment

  • 1 Waffle maker
  • 1 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk or hand blender
  • 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • 1 Silicone Spatula

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a bowl mix together cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder and salt. For a sweet version add vanilla extract and your choice of sweetener. Whisk well with a spoon, or you can also use your hand blender to ensure that no lumps remain in the batter.
  2. Preheat the Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker. To cook them, open the pie iron and lightly grease the plates with melted butter or cooking spray.
  3. Cook the Waffles: Add the waffle to your waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 4–5 minutes or until waffles turn golden with crispy edges.
  4. Rest and Serve: Wait 1 to 2 minutes, then lift each waffle off the grid. Top with your favorite keto toppings and serve hot.

Notes

  • If you want them extra fluffy, just separate the egg and whip the white to fold in!
  • Small curd cottage cheese makes it smoother.
  • Do not fill the waffle maker unit too high as this will allow for batter run over.
  • To cook a savoury waffle omit sweetener, and then add herbs or grated cheese.
  • Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and reheat them in the toaster for some extra crisp.
