# Instructions:

In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and honey/maple syrup if using. Blend until smooth and just combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

Once the waffle iron is hot, pour the recommended amount of batter (approximately 1/2 cup, depending on your waffle iron size) onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
