Make these simple, high protein cottage cheese waffles for a satisfying low carb breakfast. They cook up crispy on the outside and tender inside without using any flour.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon keto-friendly sweetener (like erythritol)
  • Cooking spray or butter for the iron

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat the plates with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Place the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener (if using) into a blender.
  3. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth. You should not see any large curds remaining. This step is key for texture.
  4. Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended for your specific iron size.
  5. Cook according to your waffle iron’s directions until golden brown and crisp. This usually takes 4 to 6 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove the waffle and serve immediately with your preferred low carb toppings.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use full-fat cottage cheese and blend thoroughly to break down the curds.
  • Do not overfill the iron; the batter will expand slightly.
  • If you prefer savory cottage cheese waffles, omit the vanilla and sweetener, and add 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and a pinch of black pepper to the batter.
  • Serve with sugar-free syrup, a few fresh berries, or a dollop of full-fat Greek yogurt for a complete keto breakfast.
