Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
  • 0.5 cup rolled oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 spray cooking spray or a little olive oil, for the pan

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, honey, and salt. Blend until you have a smooth batter. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or milk to adjust the consistency.
  2. Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or olive oil.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set.
  4. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  5. Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm, optionally topped with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
