Make fluffy waffles using cottage cheese and egg whites for a significant protein boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese and egg yolks in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the flour mixture and vanilla extract to the cottage cheese mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until no streaks remain.
  6. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  7. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook according to your appliance’s directions until golden brown and crisp.
  8. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For a sweeter waffle, add 1 tablespoon of your preferred low-calorie sweetener to the batter.
  • If you do not have a blender, press the cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing to remove lumps.
  • You can substitute half the all-purpose flour with oat flour for added fiber.
