Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine soft cottage cheese, egg, milk, and your preferred sweetener.
Mix thoroughly until smooth and well integrated.
Step 2
Grate the small apple using a coarse grater, and gently fold it into the cottage cheese mixture.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix together rice flour, oat flour, and baking powder.
Add this dry mixture to the cottage cheese batter.
Step 4
Next, add a pinch of cinnamon and melted butter to the mixture, stirring well until combined.
The batter should have a thick consistency, similar to pancake batter.
Step 5
Preheat your waffle maker and grease it with a little butter to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter into the waffle maker and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Servings
These Apple Protein Waffles are a canvas waiting for your creative touch! Consider serving them with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a creamy texture, or drizzle some honey for added sweetness. Top with colorful berries for a burst of flavor and a feast for the eyes! 🍓🍌
If you’re feeling adventurous, how about a sprinkling of nuts or seeds? They not only add a crunch but also enhance the nutritional value! 🌰✨ And don’t forget to pair these waffles with a warm herbal tea or a steaming cup of coffee to make that breakfast experience even cozier.
For a special touch, transform your waffles into a delightful dessert by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top – perfect for an after-dinner treat! 🍦💖
Equipment
Make sure your waffle maker is non-stick for easy release. Preheat it well for crispy results!
Use large mixing bowls for combining all the ingredients. A good tip is to have one for wet and one for dry to simplify your mixing process.
A box grater works great for shredding the apple quickly. Opt for a large grating side for fluffy apple pieces.

Variations
If you're looking to shake things up, why not try these delicious alternatives? For a **gluten-free** option, substitute rice flour with almond flour and oat flour with gluten-free oats. Just make sure to check your products for any hidden gluten! 🌾🚫
Want something **vegan**? Easy! Replace the egg with a flaxseed or chia seed egg (1 tbsp of flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with 2.5 tbsp of water, let stand for 5 minutes), use plant milk instead of regular milk, and skip the butter or replace it with coconut oil. 🌱💚
Faq
- What if I don't have a waffle maker?
No worries! You can cook the batter on a skillet like pancakes. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Can I use other fruits instead of apples?
Absolutely! Bananas, blueberries, or even grated carrots can be delicious alternatives to tailor the flavor to your taste.
- How can I make my waffles extra crispy?
Ensure your waffle maker is very hot before pouring in the batter and try letting the waffles cook for a bit longer than the suggested time.
- Can I make the batter in advance?
While it’s best fresh, you can prepare the dry ingredients in advance and mix with wet ingredients just before cooking.
- What's the best way to store leftover waffles?
Store cooked waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage. Crisp them back up in the toaster when ready!
- Can I double the recipe for a crowd?
Definitely! Just ensure your waffle maker can handle larger batches, or you may need to cook in batches. Enjoy the brunch!
