Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup cottage cheese choose either full-fat or low-fat
  • 2 large eggs opt for fresh eggs
  • 1 cup oat flour or use ground almonds for a nuttier flavor
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for aromatic depth
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder ensure it's fresh
  • 1 pinch salt to balance flavors
Optional Add-ins
  • blueberries for extra nutrition
  • chocolate chips for sweetness
  • nuts customize to taste
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • griddle or non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk them together until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
  2. Slowly mix in the oat flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. Pour in the vanilla extract and gently stir until just combined.
  4. If using any optional add-ins, gently fold them into the batter.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form.
  7. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Gently press the center with your fingers; they should bounce back slightly to check for doneness.
  9. Keep finished pancakes warm in the oven set to 200°F (93°C) while cooking the remaining batter.
