Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Rest Batter: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow it to slightly thicken and improve texture.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and edges start to set.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or nut butter.
Notes
- These pancakes are naturally gluten-free and rich in protein.
- You can add a mashed banana to the batter for extra natural sweetness or blend in blueberries for a fruity twist.
- Leftover pancakes store well in the fridge or freezer for quick breakfasts later.
