Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
For Serving
- Maple syrup, jam, or sliced berries
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Place 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, and 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt into a blender. Process on high speed for about 30 seconds until the mixture is well-combined and smooth.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the pancakes.
- Cook Pancakes: Spoon the batter in 2-tablespoon portions onto the hot pan, spacing them evenly apart. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges are set and the bottoms are deep golden-brown. Carefully flip with a thin spatula and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until the second side is golden-brown.
- Serve Warm: Repeat cooking with remaining batter and transfer cooked pancakes to a plate. For best taste, enjoy these pancakes fresh off the griddle while they are still warm. Top with maple syrup, honey, or your favorite jam or fresh berries.
Notes
- The batter will not bubble like traditional pancake batter, so watch closely to avoid burning.
- For fluffier pancakes, make sure the batter is blended thoroughly.
- Use a nonstick pan or lightly grease your pan to prevent sticking.
- These pancakes are best eaten immediately, but leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
