Instructions
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients on a clean countertop. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, the large egg, and the Greek yogurt. Use a fork or whisk to thoroughly mix these ingredients until smooth.
Next, add the rice flour, baking powder, and salt into the mixture. Stir until everything is combined well. The texture should be creamy and thick.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to add the finely chopped spinach. If you prefer, you can blend it with a bit of water for a smoother texture. Fold the spinach gently into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout.
Once combined, set the mixture aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
While the batter rests, preheat your waffle iron according to its instructions. It’s crucial to get it hot enough so that the waffles cook evenly and become crispy.
If desired, brush the waffle iron plates with a thin layer of avocado oil or spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Once the waffle iron is ready, pour an appropriate amount of the batter onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's guidelines, typically for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffles and set them aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 5
These savory spinach cottage cheese waffles are best enjoyed warm. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as yogurt, fresh herbs, or a light salad on the side.
Enjoy your delightful breakfast or snack, and have a great day!
Servings
These delightful Spinach Cottage Cheese Waffles are perfect for a brunch gathering or a cozy family breakfast! Serve them hot off the waffle maker with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a burst of flavor. 🍽️✨

Equipment
Make sure your waffle maker is preheated for the best results. A non-stick surface works wonders—don't forget to brush it with a little avocado oil for easy release!
This kitchen gadget will help you finely chop the spinach. If you prefer, you can also use a knife, but blending makes it smoother.

Variations
If you’re looking for alternatives or diet-friendly options, here are some variations you can enjoy! 🌱🥑
Gluten-Free: Substitute the rice flour with a blend of gluten-free flours such as almond flour or coconut flour to keep these waffles gluten-free but equally delicious!
Vegan: Replace the egg with a flaxseed or chia seed egg (1 tablespoon of flaxseed or chia mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, let it sit for 5 minutes) and try using plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. This way, you can still enjoy delicious waffles without any animal products!
Faq
- Can I use other vegetables besides spinach?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other greens like kale or even grated zucchini. Just make sure to drain excess moisture for the right texture.
- How do I store leftover waffles?
Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster or the oven for the best results!
- What can I do if my waffles don’t come out crispy?
If your waffles are soggy, try cooking them a few minutes longer. Also, ensure your batter isn’t too watery by using the right amount of flour!
- Can I prepare the batter in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the batter ahead of time. However, it’s best to use it within a couple of hours for optimal freshness. Give it a good stir before cooking.
- Can I double the recipe?
Definitely! Just double all ingredients and make a big batch. It’s perfect for meal prep!
- How do I know when my waffles are done cooking?
Waffles are usually done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Most waffle makers will indicate when they’re ready with a light.
