Fluffy Quark Waffles with Wholegrain Spelt Flour – Simply Good
There are some recipes you try once and never forget. These quark waffles are definitely one of them for me. I spent a long time tinkering, baking, and testing them – because wholegrain waffles should not only be healthy, but also really delicious and fluffy. And that's exactly what I achieved with this recipe.
The combination of wholemeal spelt flour and low-fat quark ensures that the waffles are wonderfully light, moist, and filling at the same time—perfect for a balanced breakfast or a healthy snack. Their neutral flavor makes these quark waffles versatile and perfect for a variety of sweet toppings, however you like!

Nutritious Quark Waffles
These wholegrain quark waffles are made with wholegrain spelt flour and low-fat quark and are golden brown on the outside and pleasantly light on the inside. Compared to many other whole-grain waffles, they impress with their fluffy texture and are an excellent base for all kinds of sweet toppings.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
-
Measure the butter. If it's at room temperature, you can use it straight away. If it's right out of the fridge, you should warm it slightly first (but don't let it melt). Then add the sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs and mix well with a hand mixer until it looks foamy and is lighter in color.
-
Then add the low-fat quark / curd cheese and mix it in well.
-
Then add the wholegrain spelt flour* (see remarks), salt and baking powder and stir gently on the lowest setting until everything is just combined.
-
Finally, add the mineral water and stir it in carefully (at the lowest setting).
-
Now prepare your waffle iron** (see remarks). Let it heat up, and when it's ready, brush it all over with a little butter.
You can use a heart-shaped waffle iron or one for Belgian waffles (like I did, see remarks).
-
Now add one or two (depending on your waffle iron) dollops of batter to the waffle iron and bake the quark waffles. Then carefully remove them from the waffle iron and let them cool on a wire rack.
-
You can top your quark waffles with whatever toppings you like. I like them with applesauce and cinnamon sugar, for example, or just with powdered sugar (classic). In the pictures, I've served them with sweetened cream cheese, berries, and granola.

Remark
*Advertisement (Affiliate): The brand Alnatura sells wholegrain spelt flour which is milled finely and works wonderfully in this recipe. For example, you can find it here.
**Advertisement (Affiliate): The waffle iron I used here is from Tefal, and I highly recommend it. The coating is really good, meaning you hardly need any butter for greasing, and the batter still doesn't stick to the waffle iron. You can also swap out the metal plates, transforming the waffle iron into a sandwich maker or contact grill. You can find the device, for example, here.
