Cottage Cheese Almond Flour Waffles (Gluten-Free)
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour (224g)
- 1/3 cup gluten-free flour (50g)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons light olive oil, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and the cottage cheese curdles have disappeared completely – this usually takes about 15-30 seconds.
- Add 2 cups almond flour, 1/3 cup gluten-free flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the blender. Pulse just until the ingredients are incorporated and you have a thick, smooth batter. Don't overmix or your waffles will be tough.
- Preheat your waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions. Pour batter onto the hot waffle iron (amount depends on your waffle maker size) and cook according to your machine's settings until golden brown and crispy. Let them cool slightly before serving to allow the texture to set perfectly.

Notes
Blend until completely smooth: The key to perfect texture is making sure those cottage cheese curdles disappear completely – don't rush this step.
Don't overmix the dry ingredients: Once you add the flour mixture, just pulse until combined to keep your waffles tender.
Let them cool slightly: These waffles continue cooking from residual heat, so a minute or two of cooling gives you the perfect texture.
Use fresh baking powder: Old baking powder won't give you the rise you need for fluffy waffles – check the expiration date.
