Fluffy, protein-packed pancakes made with blended cottage cheese, perfect for energizing your morning.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dairy & Eggs
01 - 1 cup cottage cheese, low-fat or full-fat
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/4 cup milk, dairy or unsweetened plant-based
→ Dry Ingredients
04 - 3/4 cup oat flour or blended rolled oats
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Sweeteners & Flavor
07 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ For Cooking
09 - 1 tablespoon butter or neutral oil
# Steps:
01 - Combine cottage cheese, eggs, milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 30-45 seconds.
02 - Add oat flour, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Pulse until just combined, scraping down sides as needed to incorporate any dry pockets. Avoid overmixing to prevent dense pancakes.
03 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil, wiping excess with a paper towel for even coating.
04 - Pour approximately 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the preheated skillet. Cook until bubbles form across the surface and edges appear set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
05 - Carefully flip pancakes using a spatula. Cook second side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and completely cooked through. Adjust heat if browning too quickly.
06 - Serve warm with preferred toppings such as fresh berries, Greek yogurt, nut butter, or additional maple syrup.
