If you’re following a low-carb or keto and want to keep breakfast high protein, these naturally gluten free waffles hit all the right notes.

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat your full-size waffle maker and lightly grease if needed.
  2. Add cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. Add coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend again until thick.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb moisture.
  5. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter per full-size waffle. (Or 1/4 cup per mini waffle if using a Dash mini waffle maker.)
  6. Cook until golden brown and firm. Mine takes about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Let cool slightly before removing. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Notes

Waffle texture tip: These waffles are soft and cake-like. For crispier edges, cook a minute longer and let cool on a wire rack to firm up. Pumpkin spice: Feel free to increase the pumpkin spice if you like a bolder flavor. Add cinnamon for an extra cozy touch. Sweetness level: These waffles are mildly sweet. For dessert-style waffles, add a few drops of stevia or a keto sweetener of choice. Topping ideas: Try with whipped cream, sugar-free maple syrup, almond butter, or a dollop of pumpkin cottage cheese mousse. Substitution tip: Don’t swap coconut flour with almond flour directly. They absorb liquid differently. See my almond flour version. Storage: Store in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat in a toaster or air fryer for best texture. Freezer-friendly: Freeze between parchment paper and reheat directly from frozen in the toaster.
