Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine 1 cup of cottage cheese and 2 large eggs in a mixing bowl, whisk until smooth.
  2. Mix in 1 cup of oat flour, 1-2 tablespoons sweetener, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and any optional add-ins like 1/2 cup blueberries.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle over medium heat and grease it with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Check doneness; they should feel firm and spring back slightly when done.
  8. Serve warm topped with Greek yogurt, fresh fruits, or honey.
