Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease both plates with cooking spray or melted unsalted butter.
- In a large bowl, mash the 2 overripe medium bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional), and a pinch of salt to the mashed bananas; stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup oat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until a thick batter forms. Fold in the 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, leaving a few aside if you want to place extra berries on top of each waffle.
- Re-grease the waffle iron if needed. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter (or the amount recommended by your waffle iron) onto the center of the hot iron. If you reserved extra blueberries, place a few on top of the batter now.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until the waffle is set, golden brown, and crisp to your liking.
- Carefully remove the waffle, let it rest 1 minute, and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles warm.

Notes
To keep hot waffles warm, place them in a 200°F oven on a wire rack.
Do not open the waffle maker until there is no more steam.
Make sure not to overfill the waffle iron.
Fill it in the center of the spot and do not go all the way to the edges, or it will overflow.
Don’t overmix the batter. Mix it just until there are no more lumps.
Let the waffle iron heat back up after every few waffles and check to see if it needs more oil.
