⏱ Time & Yield

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 2 (makes about 6 small pancakes)

🥚 Ingredients:

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

3 large eggs

¼ cup rolled oats (or quick oats)

½ tsp baking powder (optional, for fluffier texture)

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Pinch of salt

Butter or oil spray for cooking

Optional add-ins:

½ banana (for natural sweetness)

1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup

Dash of cinnamon or nutmeg

🔧 Instructions:

Blend Batter:

Add cottage cheese, eggs, oats, baking powder, vanilla, and salt into a blender or food processor.

Blend until smooth and slightly thick (about 20–30 seconds).

Heat Skillet:

Warm a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil spray.

Cook:

Pour 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the skillet.

Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top.

Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve:

Enjoy warm with toppings like berries, nut butter, or Greek yogurt.

✅ Tips for Perfect Pancakes:

• Too thick? Add 1–2 tbsp of milk to thin the batter slightly.
• Too runny? Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken before cooking.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan – cook in batches to ensure even heat.
• Want chunkier texture? Stir oats in by hand instead of blending.

❓ Quick Q&A:

Q: Can I make these without a blender?
A: Yes! Use oat flour instead of rolled oats and mix everything by hand.

Q: Are these pancakes gluten-free?
A: Yes, if you use certified gluten-free oats.

Q: Can I make these ahead?
A: Absolutely. Store in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in toaster or skillet.

Q: What can I use instead of oats?
A: Try almond flour (2–3 tbsp), mashed banana, or omit entirely for a thinner batter.
