Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Avocado oil or butter (for cooking)
- Optional add-ins: chocolate chips or blueberries
- Toppings: Greek yogurt whipped cream, maple syrup, berries
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, add the oats, cottage cheese, eggs, baking soda, honey, and cinnamon. Blend on high until smooth but avoid overmixing.
- If using optional add-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries, gently fold them into the batter after blending.
- Let the batter sit for about 15 minutes for fluffier pancakes.
- Heat avocado oil or butter in a large pan over medium-low heat.
- Pour 1-2 heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on top and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes.
- Repeat in batches, wiping out the pan between each to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with your choice of Greek yogurt, maple syrup, nut butter, or fresh berries.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, don’t skip letting the batter rest for 15 minutes.
- Adjust heat as needed to prevent pancakes from burning.
- Use a non-stick pan for best results.
