Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Low-fat or full-fat options based on preference.
  • 1 cup oats Rolled oats preferred; ensure gluten-free if needed.
  • 2 large eggs Use room temperature for fluffiness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for better flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Provides fluffiness.
  • a pinch salt Enhances flavor.
Optional Toppings

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes for extra fluffiness.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Pour a ladleful of the pancake batter onto the skillet, aiming for 1/4 to 1/2 cup per pancake.
  3. Cook until bubbles form, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes more.
  4. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat if necessary.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with your choice of toppings.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and do not overcrowd the skillet while cooking.
