Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
- 2 tbsp almond flour (optional)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp melted butter or olive oil (optional)
- 1-2 tsp sweetener (erythritol/stevia or 1 tsp vanilla extract, if making sweet chaffles)
- Non-stick spray or additional melted butter (for greasing the waffle iron)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a bit of melted butter.
- Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flavor: Fold in shredded cheese, almond flour (if using), baking powder, salt, and any optional spices until you’ve got a thick batter.
- Pour and cook: Pour a portion of the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat and enjoy: Carefully remove the chaffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve warm, dress it up with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
