Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Oat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., stevia or erythritol)
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix together the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sugar-free sweetener.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated and a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving enough space between them to flip easily.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes immediately with your choice of diabetic-friendly toppings, such as fresh berries, a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
