Blend 1 cup of cottage cheese in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy, about 15 seconds.

Add 3/4 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 2 Tbsp of maple syrup, 2 Tbsp of light olive oil, and 1 tsp of vanilla to the blender.

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Add 2 cups of almond flour, 1/3 cup of gluten-free flour, 2 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt to the blender.

Blend until all ingredients are just incorporated, creating a smooth waffle batter.

Prepare the waffle maker by lightly spraying it with coconut oil.

Using a 1/3 cup scoop, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into each waffle iron.

Cook the waffles for about 3 minutes, or until they smell toasty and are golden brown.

Open the waffle maker and remove the waffles, placing them onto a board.

Repeat the process with the remaining batter until you have made one dozen waffles.
