Put the flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add the eggs, soy milk, syrup, and vanilla; whisk until smooth. Stir in butter, flaxseed oil, and yogurt/cottage cheese. Finally stir in the chopped nuts, if using, into batter. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using. Preheat the Cuisinart® Waffle Maker to desired setting (a tone will sound when preheated). Pour 2 cups of batter onto the center of the lower grid of the preheated waffle maker; spread batter evenly using a heat-proof spatula. Close lid of waffle maker. When tone sounds, waffles are ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffles. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately.
