Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup cottage cheese small curd or blended smooth
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Cooking
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil, for greasing the pan
Optional Toppings
  • fresh fruit such as bananas or berries
  • Greek yogurt for serving
  • maple syrup for drizzling

Method
 

  1. Add oats, cottage cheese, eggs, honey, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly while you heat the skillet.
  3. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on top and the edges look set. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, yogurt, or maple syrup.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, add a splash of milk if the batter is too thick. These pancakes can be meal-prepped, store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or skillet.
