Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats use certified gluten-free if needed
- 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese 2% or full-fat
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup 2% milk plus more only if needed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- neutral oil or cooking spray for the waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron thoroughly according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Add the oats to a blender and blend until they resemble coarse flour. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Blend just until smooth, scraping down the sides if needed. Rest the batter for 5 minutes; add milk one tablespoon at a time only if it is too thick to pour.
- Lightly grease the hot waffle iron. Add the amount of batter recommended for your machine and cook until deep golden, the steam has slowed, and the waffle releases easily.
- Transfer each waffle to a wire rack. Serve immediately or keep warm on the rack in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch.
