Ingredients
Pancake Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese Low-fat or full-fat based on preference
- 2 large eggs Bind the ingredients together
- 1 cup oats Rolled or quick oats work well
- 1 tbsp baking powder For fluffy texture
- 1 tsp vanilla extract Can substitute with almond extract
- 1 pinch salt Enhances flavors
Cooking Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil or butter For greasing the skillet
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk until well blended.
- Add in the oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until combined. The mixture should be thicker than traditional pancake batter but still pourable.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with oil or butter.
- Once hot, pour a ladle of the batter onto the skillet, spreading it out to about 4-5 inches in diameter.
- Wait until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook for another minute or two until golden brown.
Serving
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm on a plate while you cook the remaining pancakes.
- Serve with toppings like sliced bananas, fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
Notes
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
