Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd works best, 2% or full-fat for richer pancakes)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (or quick oats; use certified gluten-free oats if needed)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup for light sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt to balance flavors
  • Butter or oil for the pan

Instructions
 

  • Blend or mix the batter: Add cottage cheese, eggs, and oats to a blender. Blend until mostly smooth, 15–30 seconds. No blender? Stir well in a bowl; the pancakes will be a bit chunkier but still great.
  • Rest briefly: Let the batter sit for 3–5 minutes so the oats hydrate. This helps the pancakes hold together and brown nicely.
  • Heat the pan: Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Portion and cook: Pour 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes, until the edges look set and small bubbles form. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • Serve warm: Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, maple syrup, nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
