Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Optional Add-ins

  • Berries (fresh or frozen)
  • Chopped nuts
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Wet Ingredients: Add cottage cheese, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy pancake batter base.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Mix Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. If desired, fold in optional add-ins such as berries, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
  4. Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, indicating readiness to flip.
  6. Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or additional maple syrup for sweetness.

Notes

  • If oat flour is unavailable, you can make your own by grinding rolled oats in a food processor until fine.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with almond or oat milk and ensure the cottage cheese alternative is suitable.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey added.
  • Use a non-stick skillet and moderate heat to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring even cooking.
  • These pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
