Description

These waffles are super easy to make, packed with protein, and perfectly fluffy. You’ll love how quickly they come together and how they crisp up golden in a waffle machine, or you can make them as flapjacks in a pan.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 85 g almond flour
  • 125 g cottage cheese
  • 3 XL eggs
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) Allulose or sweetener of your choice (optional)
  • Oil or spray, for greasing the waffle machine

Instructions

  1. Add 125 g cottage cheese, 3 XL eggs, and 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract into a blender.
  2. Then add 85 g almond flour, 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) Allulose, optional or your preferred sweetener (if using).
  3. Blend everything until smooth.
  4. Let it rest so it can thicken up a bit, while you heat the waffle machine according to directions.
  5. Pour about 50–60 ml of batter into each waffle cavity (depending on the size of your machine).
  6. Close the waffle machine and cook for about 3–4 minutes until the steam mostly stops escaping.
  7. Check and if needed, close again for another minute or two to get your preferred crispiness.
  8. If you prefer, you can use the same recipe and bake them in a pan as flapjacks. 
  9. Here you will use about a palm size of dough, bake it, flip it over, and bake the other side until done.
  10. Do not stack them while still hot, as they will steam and not crisp.  Place on a wired cooling rack, and if you will enjoy them once done, keep them warm in the oven.
  11. Serve immediately with maple syrup, fruit, or anything you love.
  12. Leftovers? Although I highly doubt it.
  13. Toast them the next day, and they’re still amazing.
