Optional Toppings

  • 1/2 cup blueberries

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to a blender and purée on high very well.
  • Heat a waffle iron and spray with cooking oil just before adding 1 heaping cup of batter (my waffle maker has 4 waffle slots, adjust accordingly).
  • Cook until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
  • Serve warm with real maple syrup and top with blueberries.

Notes

Recipe adapted from Jenny Jiles. 
I did not include the blueberries and maple syrup in the nutritional information. Feel free to use non-fat or low-fat cottage cheese.
