Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 C Oats
  • 1 Whole Egg
  • 1/2 C Cottage Cheese
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 tsp Sweetener of Choice Optional

Method
 

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add oats, egg, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sweetener, and baking powder into a food processor or blender. Blend until you get a smooth batter. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can use oat flour instead of oats to make mixing easier.
  2. Preheat the Pan: Heat a nonstick or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil, like coconut or avocado, to ensure the pancakes don't stick.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Pour a small amount of batter onto the pan to form each pancake. Cook on medium-low heat until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until both sides are golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Adjust the heat to medium-high if needed, but be careful not to burn them.
  4. Serve: Once the pancakes are cooked, serve them warm. Top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt for added flavor and nutrition.
  5. Storage: If you have any leftover pancakes, store them in an airtight container. You can reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave for breakfast the next day.
