Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup rolled oats or oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia), to taste
  • Pinch of salt
  • Coconut oil or butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix gently until smooth but slightly textured. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats (or oat flour), baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and your chosen sweetener.
  2. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the cottage cheese mixture. Stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture, improving texture.
  3. Heat the Pan and Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil or butter. Scoop 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the pan, spreading gently if needed. Cook each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully to maintain shape and fluffiness.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nut butter, or maple syrup. Enjoy a healthy, protein-packed breakfast to fuel your day.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for richer flavor and better texture.
  • Pulse oats briefly in a blender for a finer batter consistency.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
