- 1 cup cottage cheese low-fat or full-fat, as per preference
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rolled oats or flour of your choice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional for sweetness
- Butter or oil for cooking
Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oats, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and honey or syrup (if using). Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
Cook the Pancakes: Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Serve: Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Enjoy: Top with fresh fruits, yogurt, nuts, or a drizzle of syrup for added flavor.
• For a sweeter pancake, increase the honey or syrup to your taste.
• The pancakes can also be made in a larger batch and stored in the freezer. Nutrition Facts (per pancake):
