Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or 4% milk fat) Substitution Note: Ricotta cheese can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 cup rolled oats Substitution Note: Use gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • 2 large eggs Use two large eggs in their whole form for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) Feel free to omit or replace with vanilla extract for a different profile.
  • 1 tablespoon butter Can replace with a non-stick spray or oil for a dairy-free option.
For Serving
  • toppings (e.g., berries, applesauce, maple syrup, or jam) Choose toppings based on personal preference.

Equipment

  • blender
  • non-stick skillet
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 large eggs, and a dash of cinnamon if desired. Blend the mixture on high for about 30 seconds until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, swirling it around to coat the skillet evenly.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until the edges look set and bubbles form on the surface.
  4. Gently flip the pancakes using a spatula when they turn golden brown, allowing the other side to cook for another 2-3 minutes until equally golden.
  5. Once all pancakes are cooked, stack them on a plate while they're still warm, and serve with your choice of toppings such as fresh berries or maple syrup.
