Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or sugar (optional)
- Splash of milk (optional)
Instructions
- Measure out all the dry and wet ingredients: cottage cheese, oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and your chosen sweetener.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together with the cottage cheese and vanilla extract, adding in the sweetener until creamy but slightly lumpy.
- Incorporate the oats, baking powder, and salt, stirring gently until everything is combined. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges turn golden brown.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 3 minutes, until golden on the other side.
- Serve warm with berries, maple syrup, or nuts for added flavor.
Notes
For fluffier pancakes, allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
