Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Opt for whole-fat or 2% for creaminess.
  • 3 large eggs Organic or free-range eggs enhance flavor.
  • 1/2 cup oats Quick oats recommend for smoother texture. Almond flour for a keto option.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Pure vanilla elevates the flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking Use butter for enhanced flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, oats (or almond flour), vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
  3. Pour the batter into the skillet, forming pancakes of your desired size, ideally around 4 inches in diameter.
  4. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface; then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For best results, let the skillet heat adequately before adding batter. Store pancakes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Can prepare batter the night before and refrigerate.
