⭐
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup oats (or almond flour for lower carbs)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional:
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩🍳
Instructions:
- Blend the Batter:
- In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oats (or almond flour), baking powder, and any optional add-ins like vanilla or sweetener.
- Blend until smooth (about 20–30 seconds). Let the batter sit for a minute or two to thicken slightly.
- Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Lightly grease with butter, oil, or non-stick spray.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour small rounds of batter (about 2–3 tablespoons each) into the skillet.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip gently and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips:
- Texture: For chunkier pancakes, mix by hand instead of blending.
- Make Ahead: Batter can be made the night before and stored in the fridge.
