In reply to Dalene. Well I don't eat sawdust and everything I share, I enjoy as does my family. So for whatever reason, the protein powder used or cooking too long in your waffle iron that is what dried them out.

In reply to MarjoJimbo. The best thing I can say about these waffles is that they look beautiful just like real waffles- unfortunately they were like sawdust in my mouth and hard to swallow. So disappointing!

I had an abundant amount of cottage cheese to use. I went to Brenda’s new cookbook Good, Better, Best. I was thrilled to see how many recipes used Cottage cheese. The easiest one appeared to be the cottage cheese waffles. I had all the ingredients on hand. I also use a four waffle mini Dash cooker. I had almost the amount of whey protein powder mentioned in the recipe the rest was equip beef protein powder. Since the amount of time to cook the waffles can vary upon the ingredients you used I used the middle of the road approach for 3 minutes. I knew I was in trouble when my Waffle iron lid wouldn’t lift nicely. Alas my results were the same as many that have left reviews here. The Waffle split I had a massive cleanup to do. It’s not like Brenda to put a recipe out that struggles so badly. I’m here to say I believe I found the reason it has failed for so many. I know this is a long post but I’ve been following Brenda for well over 3 years and I think it deserves the time to explain. I began thinking about Brenda’s 90 sec cottage cheese English muffin. If you mix up that batter too much you won’t get the nice nooks and crannies left by the Cottage cheese curds. That got me to thinking. When I made these waffles I used my immersion blender and blended the ingredients. Today I gave the recipe another shot using my single Dash waffle maker and cutting the recipe, 1 egg, 1/4 cup cottage cheese & 2 Tbsp protein powder. I didn’t want to waste the ingredients again. This time I gently blended the ingredients with a whisk, leaving the curds of cottage cheese visible. The protein powder I used was Equip peanut butter flavor. I added a bit of stevia glycerate for extra sweetness. I oiled my single-waffle iron and cooked for three minutes. After 3 minutes I attempted to lift the lid and it did not release. I used a non-stick spatula to help the lid lift without damaging the waffle. It was a success, looking exactly like the picture in Brenda’s book. It was hardly dry as my previous attempt and the comments of other people here loo. It was extra moist actually. I like the nutritional value of this recipe and I will be trying it more in the future to find the right cooking time on my Waffle iron. I do not think that the various protein powders used is the issue. I think it’s that most of us mixed it up so we couldn’t see the curds of the cottage cheese. I hope this helps. Happy feasting to you all.

I liked the 90 second cottage cheese pancake muffin so well I decided to pull out my Dash mini waffle maker and give these a try. Half the recipe made 4 perfectly! I did use unflavored whey concentrate instead of isolate and added 1 Tbsp melted butter to the batter and a bit to each waffle well. Very tasty on their own and bet they would make a great sandwich too. Will be making these again!

Wish I would have read the comments first. Thought it was just something I did wrong. Mine came out like many, stuck and made a big mess! I tasted some of those bits and I guess it’s just as well that they did that because they had a nothing taste ( just a bit of weirdness taste) so I wouldn’t have eaten them anyway. Thanks for posting though as I see a few people liked them.

In reply to Sue. Sounds like if they were so dry, they were overcooked in your waffle iron. I'm curious the brand of cottage cheese and was it full fat?

I was so disappointed, when the waffles came off the iron looking perfect, then the first bite was OK, right off. Then as soon as they began to cool at all the texture became the driest thing I have just about ever tasted. I tried so hard to finish, but I had to remind myself that I’m not a human garbage can. So sad.

In reply to Sandi. Must be the isopure. I use unflavored whey protect from the Naturally nourished line. I have updated this recipe with an additional egg and made it again live on Facebook last week without any issue and have made several videos showing this recipe working just fine. So it's not faulty in my opinion.

In reply to Becky.

I wish you could see the nightmare of a mess this left in my waffle iron without the result of an edible Chaffle. I’ve made plenty of delicious, edible protein pancakes and chaffles before, so sadly, feel your recipe is faulty at best. And, before you ask me, yes, I followed your directions and used Isopure.

Disappointing. My waffles were so dry! What could I add to moisten them up?

In reply to Misty.

Mine did the same–completely exploded out the sides of waffle maker, then glued it shut so I had to pry it open to find a thin shell of a burned waffle. Right now I’m turning remaining batter into pancakes.

In reply to Misty. Maybe I put less battery in the waffle iron. It didn't look full when I poured the mixture into the waffle maker but the spread out and puffed up while cooking.
