Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
