Makes: 4 waffles 

Prep Time: 15 mins

Cook Time: 15 mins


Ingredients:

Waffles:

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • 1 Tbsp arrowroot starch (or cornstarch)
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or melted ghee
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 large egg 
  • ⅓ cup milk of choice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Cheesecake Cream:

  • ¾ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp milk of choice
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract 
  • 2 tsp maple syrup

Optional Toppings:

  • fresh strawberries
  • beeya
  • maple syrup or honey

 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. Combine all of the dry ingredients in one bowl and all of the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients until combined, then whisk the wet ingredients until well combined. 
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and grease the waffle iron with a bit of oil.
  5. To make the waffles, pour some of the batter into the center of the waffle iron and cook until your waffle iron lets you know that the waffles are done, roughly 3-4 minutes. Avoid over-cooking the waffles or they may become dry and crumbly. 
  6. Use a fork to carefully remove the cooked waffle, then repeat with the remaining batter. Be sure to grease the waffle iron between each waffle. 
  7. While the waffles are cooking, make the cheesecake cream by combining the cottage cheese, lemon juice, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  8. Serve the waffles warm with a dollop of the cheesecake cream, fresh strawberries, beeya, and maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness if desired though not needed.

Note:

Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Pop them in the toaster to reheat!
