Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Oat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 cup Fresh berries (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, blend the cottage cheese, almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. You can use an immersion blender for a smoother texture.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chia seeds gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter per waffle, or as recommended by your waffle iron guidelines.
Cook each waffle until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes, depending on the strength of your waffle iron.
Serve the waffles warm with fresh berries and a light drizzle of honey for added sweetness and nutrition.
Enjoy your heart-healthy high-protein waffles as a delightful start to your day!
