Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
Instructions
In a blender, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, and 0.5 cup of rolled oats. Blend until smooth and the oats are fully incorporated.
Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is well combined.
Pour in 0.25 cup of milk and blend once more until everything is smooth and has the consistency of pancake batter. If the batter is too thick, add a bit more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side, ensuring both sides are golden brown.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest of the batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
