Cottage Cheese Chaffles

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these cottage cheese chaffles are quick to make and perfect for brunch or a satisfying snack.

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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Repeat and enjoy: Carefully remove the chaffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
  6. Serve: Serve warm, dress it up with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

For savory options, top with avocado or salsa. For sweet versions, try fresh berries or honey.
