In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oats, protein powder, baking powder, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth (about 30 seconds.) If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of milk to thin it slightly.
Pour the batter into your waffle iron, spreading evenly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings.
