Sourdough Cottage Cheese Waffles

Cultural Context

Sourdough Cottage Cheese Waffles blend the tangy flavor of sourdough with the protein-rich goodness of cottage cheese, making them a nutritious breakfast option. Originating from the tradition of using leftover sourdough starter, these waffles have gained popularity for their unique texture and flavor. They are often enjoyed on lazy weekend mornings or as a meal-prep option for busy weekdays, appealing to both health-conscious eaters and those seeking comfort food.

1 cup cottage cheese (full fat is best)
1/2 cup sourdough discard
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup protein powder
3/4 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
3 tablespoons coconut oil (melted and cooled) plus more for greasing the waffle maker

cottage cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess with fewer calories.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: oat flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a dairy-free alternative.

maple syrup

3

Allow to stand for a few minutes (or overnight if you want to get ahead for breakfast) while you pre-heat your waffle maker.

4

Lightly brush the grid of your waffle maker with a little coconut oil.

5

Using your cookie scoop or a measuring cup, fill your waffle maker with batter according to the device instructions.

These sourdough discard waffles should come out lovely and golden, with the perfect crisp edges when they are done.
