My Cinnamon Roll Waffles with Cream Cheese Icing will satisfy all your cravings. They are rich & filling with sweet cinnamon & creamy icing. Low Carb, THM S, Gluten/Grain Free.
It’s been months since I posted a waffle recipe. I’m not a big breakfast person but I love breakfast food. I’m just too sleepy to make up breakfast recipes before noon. I had some cottage cheese that needed to be used up last week so I decided to use that as a base for a waffle. Not too crazy, I’ve seen cottage cheese in pancakes and waffles before. So I just started throwing ingredients into my food processor and this perfect waffle batter is what came out.
I went back and forth in my mind about what flavor to add and cinnamon won out. And what goes better with cinnamon than cream cheese icing? Nothing.
This makes a big batch of waffles. About 4 huge belgian waffles. I ate one (recipe testing is the best) and was too full to eat dinner. For a single serve version of this recipe click here.
Waffle Batter Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese (4% fat works best)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup Trim Healthy Mama Baking Blend (or my local baking mix: equal parts almond flour, coconut flour, and ground golden flax)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder or soda (I’ve had readers use both successfully)
1/3 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
Cinnamon Swirl Ingredients:
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
2 tbsp cinnamon
Icing Ingredients:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
Directions:
Put the cottage cheese in the food processor and blend until smooth. Add the cream cheese and process until smooth. Add the other ingredients and pulse until they are thoroughly incorporated.
Stir together the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl.
Spray your waffle iron with cooking spray. Spoon on the batter and drizzle on some of the cinnamon swirl. Swirl it in gently with a toothpick, knife, or spoon. (I put it in a ziploc and piped a swirl but you really couldn’t see it after it was cooked so don’t bother).
Cook until golden brown. Remove carefully. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
While the waffles are cooking stir together icing ingredients and set aside. Divide the icing between the waffles and serve.
Serves 1 waffle and 1/4 of the icing
