Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup cottage cheese (use full fat for best texture)
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweet version)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until smooth. Add the oat flour, baking powder, honey (if using), vanilla, and salt. Stir gently until you have a thick, scoopable batter. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to thicken slightly while you heat the pan.
- Cook the Pancakes: Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Scoop the batter using a tablespoon or small ladle and spread gently into pancake shapes. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges look set and the bottoms are golden brown, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes on the other side. Don’t rush them—they’ll hold together better once the first side sets.
- Serve: Serve warm with fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or maple syrup. Alternatively, refrigerate and enjoy cold with nut butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
- You can customize these pancakes by adding your favorite fruits or nuts to the batter.
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- Make a larger batch and freeze the pancakes for a quick breakfast option on busy mornings.
