Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat, based on preference)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup rolled oats (blended into flour)

1/4 cup almond flour (or any flour of choice)

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Turn on your waffle iron to preheat while you prepare the batter. Grease it lightly with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.

    Blend Oats: In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats until they reach a fine flour consistency.

      Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the blended oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

        Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. For a creamier texture, you can blend this mixture briefly in a blender.

          Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

            Cook the Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (approximately 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle maker's size). Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, usually about 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

              Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, nut butter, or additional maple syrup.

                Storage: Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
