There’s something about waffles that makes any breakfast feel just a little bit fancy. Even better when you know you’re starting your day with 11g of protein in just one fluffy waffle thanks to our good friend blended cottage cheese.

We’ve been blending cottage cheese A LOT these days, and these cottage cheese waffles are our latest creation with the super versatile, high-protein ingredient. I hope you ❤️ ’em as much as we do.

why the fit foodie kitchen ❤️’s these cottage cheese waffles

• 11g of protein per waffle! aka the perfect way to start the day 😁
• Short list of easy ingredients like all-purpose flour, blended cottage cheese, eggs, and almond milk.
• GREAT for meal prep — just store your waffles in the freezer, and pop in the toaster when you’re ready to enjoy.

Here’s what our blended cottage cheese waffles looked like on testing day ⤵️

Storage

These waffles will keep in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, and can easily be reheated either in the toaster or microwave. This makes these waffles a great option for a quick breakfast throughout the week!

Can you freeze cottage cheese waffles?

This is a great recipe to either meal prep for the week or whip up a double or triple batch and then store in the freezer to have on hand. So, how do you freeze waffles?

1. First, let your waffles cool completely. The reason we do this is so that the waffles can come down to room temperature and stop producing so much moisture (steam). This will prevent freezer burn in the freezer and help your waffles stay nice and fresh.
2. Tightly wrap waffles in a piece of plastic wrap, or place in a freezer-safe bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible, which will also help to prevent freezer burn.
3. Place waffles in the freezer and freeze for up to 3 months.

How to Reheat Frozen Waffles

• Option 1: Thaw waffles in the refrigerator overnight. Then, microwave for 60 seconds in the morning.
• Option 2 (recommended): Cut frozen waffles in half and place in the toaster and toast on medium. We recommend this option as it will give you a crispier waffle.
