How To Make Oat Flour

Place oats in the blender and process until it resembles fine flour.

Notes

• You can omit the sugar or use your favorite sweetener.
• Gluten free – If you desire a gluten-free waffle make certain that the oats you purchase are labeled as such. Some producers process and store their oats in the same places as they do wheat and other grains.
• Reduced fat cottage cheese – since this has no oil or butter I opted for full fat cottage cheese, if you use reduced fat you may want to add a little oil.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup 4% milk fat small curd cottage cheese
• 2 large eggs, separated
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon sugar, (optional)
• 1 cup oat flour, or grind old-fashioned rolled oats in blender
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

• Heat a waffle iron on its medium setting.
• Place cottage cheese, egg yolks, vanilla, and sugar, if using in the blender. Add 6 tablespoons water, oat flour, baking powder and salt and blend until mixture is smooth batter. Transfer to a medium bowl using a spatula to get all the batter out.
• Beat the egg white to soft peaks, then fold into the batter.
• Spray pre-heated waffle iron with oil spray. Pour batter into iron (about 1/4 cup) and cook until golden brown and steam is no longer being released.
