Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and brown sugar until well combined.
Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, add the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and oil. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a uniform batter.
Mix Batter: Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gradually add 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk, stirring only as necessary to achieve a smooth, pourable batter consistency.
Preheat Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease or oil the waffle cavities to prevent sticking.
Cook Waffles: Pour just under ½ cup of batter into each waffle cavity. Cook for approximately 3-5 minutes or until waffles reach your desired golden brown color, adjusting time based on your waffle maker’s settings.
Serve and Store: Carefully remove waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your favorite toppings. Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat as desired.

Notes

You can substitute canola oil with other neutral oils such as vegetable or melted coconut oil.
If you prefer a thinner batter, add milk in small increments until the desired consistency is reached.
Waffle cooking time may vary depending on the waffle iron brand and model.
Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast option.
