FAQs

Can I use a different sweetener?

Yes, you can use any sweetener of your choice, such as stevia, monk fruit, or honey, to adjust the sweetness to your taste.

Can I use something other than cottage cheese?

If you don’t have cottage cheese, you can substitute it with ricotta cheese for a similar creamy texture.

Can I make these waffles in advance?

Yes, you can make the waffles ahead of time and store them in the fridge or freezer. Reheat them in the toaster or on the skillet to bring back the crispy texture.

How do I make these waffles fluffier?

For fluffier waffles, separate the eggs, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks, and fold them into the batter.

How do I know when the waffles are done?
