Ingredients
  

For the Waffles:
  • 2 medium bananas overripe, mashed
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup oat flour or regular gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 pinch salt
  • as needed cooking spray or melted unsalted butter for the waffle iron

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Waffle Iron
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Waffle Iron - Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the iron with cooking spray or melted unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Mash the Bananas - In a mixing bowl, mash the 2 overripe bananas using a fork until smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your waffles will be!
  3. Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients - Add the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using) to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients - In another bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Make sure there are no lumps in the flour for a smooth batter.
  5. Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures - Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix! Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to avoid breaking them.
  6. Step 6: Cook the Waffles - Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron, using about 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle, or adjust according to your waffle iron’s size. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 4-6 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Enjoy - Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles and serve them warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, additional blueberries, or a dollop of yogurt. Enjoy your delicious Gluten Free Banana Cottage Cheese Waffles!
