Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Full-fat small curd for the best results.
  • 2 large Eggs Essential for structure and added protein.

  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder A vital leavening agent for achieving fluffiness.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile beautifully.
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup Optional, adds sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp Butter or Cooking Spray For greasing the skillet.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend the Batter: In a high-speed blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats (or almond flour), baking powder, vanilla extract, and optional maple syrup. Blend on high until smooth.
  2. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat for 3-5 minutes and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  3. Pour the Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread gently into a round shape.
  4. Cook Until Bubbly: Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
  5. Flip and Finish: Flip pancakes carefully, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove pancakes from the skillet, serve warm with fresh fruits, Greek yogurt, or maple syrup.
