Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your waffle maker or chaffle iron for about 5 minutes. Lightly grease the plates with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a blender, add the cottage cheese and blend for 30 seconds until smooth. Next, crack the eggs into the blender and mix for another 10-15 seconds.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the shredded cheddar, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. Allow the batter to rest for 1-2 minutes while the waffle maker heats up.
  5. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of batter into the preheated waffle maker, close the lid, and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes.
  6. Carefully lift the chaffle from the waffle maker and transfer it to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  7. For extra crispiness, place cooled chaffles on a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 200°C (400°F) for 3-5 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.
