Instructions

1. 1
   Gather Ingredients

   Gather measured ingredients, a blender, spatula, measuring spoon, waffle iron, ladle, cooling rack, and serving plates before starting. · 3 min

   What to look for: All ingredients and tools are ready on the counter.

2. 2
   Blend Batter

   Blend cottage cheese, oats, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, and salt until the batter looks mostly smooth with tiny oat flecks. · 2 min

   What to look for: Batter is thick, pale, and mostly smooth.

3. 3
   Rest Batter

   Rest the batter in the blender jar for 5 minutes so the oats hydrate and the mixture thickens to a pourable spoonable texture. · 5 min

   What to look for: Batter is slightly thicker and falls slowly from a spoon.

4. 4
   Heat Waffle Iron

   Heat the waffle iron until the ready light shows hot, then brush the plates thinly with melted butter for crisp edges. · 5 min

   What to look for: Ready light is on and butter sizzles lightly on contact.

5. 5
   Cook First Waffle

   Ladle half the batter into the center, close the iron, and cook until steam slows and the waffle releases easily. · 5 min

   What to look for: Waffle is golden with crisp ridges and little visible steam.

6. 6
   Cook Second Waffle

   Brush the iron with the remaining butter, add the rest of the batter, and cook until deeply golden and crisp at the ridges. · 5 min

   What to look for: Second waffle is evenly browned and lifts cleanly.
