CINNAMON ROLL WAFFLES WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING

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)

• • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon

• • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend),

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. 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.
2. Stir together the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl.
3. 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).
4. Cook until golden brown. Remove carefully. Repeat until all the batter is used up.
5. While the waffles are cooking stir together icing ingredients and set aside. Divide the icing between the waffles and serve.
