Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the oat flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold in without overmixing.
  3. Using a spatula, mix the batter until just combined, ensuring a smooth consistency.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Gently fold in any optional add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips.
  6. Preheat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Check doneness by ensuring the pancakes spring back when pressed.
  10. Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the remaining batter.
