Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or butter (for the pan)
Instructions
Add the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the blender, if needed, to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup, or nut butter.
