Cottage Cheese Waffles
I’ve always had a soft spot for classic Belgian waffles, but over time, they had to drop out of my regular rotation — they are very carb-heavy, and too low in nutrients.
But there are also good news — It’s totally possible to make a delicious, protein-packed alternative using cottage cheese and nut-based flours. By replacing flour with almond and coconut flours, and using cottage cheese as a base, we can significantly boosts the protein content while keeping the classical waffle texture.
And because they’re high in protein, they pair well with naturally sweet toppings like berries, making it easier to balance the carbs intake for those who are conscious about it.
Let’s dive in!
