Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd works best; full-fat or low-fat both work)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (or quick oats)
  • Pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or sugar if you like them sweeter
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder for a bit more lift
  • Butter or oil for the pan

Instructions
 

  • Blend the batter: Add cottage cheese, eggs, and oats to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, 20–30 seconds. Let it sit 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Preheat the pan: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles on contact.
  • Portion the pancakes: Pour 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake. Keep them small so they flip easily and cook evenly.
  • Cook until set: Cook 2–3 minutes, until the edges look set and the underside is golden. The tops may show small bubbles.
  • Flip gently: Slide a thin spatula under the pancake and flip. Cook another 1–2 minutes until cooked through.
  • Serve warm: Top with maple syrup, berries, yogurt, or a smear of nut butter.
