In a blender, combine the rolled oats, cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Blend until smooth and well combined.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.
Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or nut butter.
