Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
- Optional: A pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract for extra flavor
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation and Blending: Place the cottage cheese, eggs, and rolled oats into a high-speed blender or food processor. Pulse the mixture until it reaches a completely smooth consistency. Blending the oats turns them into flour and ensures the cottage cheese curds disappear, resulting in a uniform, pourable batter. Let the batter sit for two minutes to allow the oats to hydrate and thicken slightly.
- Step 2: Cooking the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Pour about two to three tablespoons of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
- Step 3: Plating and Topping: Transfer the warm pancakes to a plate. Stack them high and add your favorite toppings. Since the base recipe is neutral, you can go savory or sweet. Fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt work beautifully to enhance the flavor profile and add even more nutrients to your meal.
