In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, eggs, and honey. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the oat flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Stir to combine, ensuring there are no lumps, and the batter is smooth.
Gradually add the low-fat milk to the batter, stirring until the mixture is of a smooth and pourable consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil or cooking spray.
Using a ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the heated skillet, forming pancakes.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges appear set.
Gently flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil or cooking spray to the pan as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries or sliced bananas if desired.
