Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (220 grams - I recommend full-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup rolled oats (100 grams)
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • for serving - butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, cinnamon...

Instructions

  • Blend ingredients to make the batter. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender in the order listed and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Make sure not to over-blend. Let it sit for 5 minutes. It should be pretty thick.
  • Cook. Heat up a large nonstick skillet or griddle over low to medium heat. Once hot, add cooking fat and let it warm up. Add about 1/4 cup of batter to your pan and form into equal-sized pancakes. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they fluff up, and the batter is set (there won't be a lot of bubbles like traditional pancakes). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Enjoy! Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • Depending on your blender, you might not be able to half the recipe as there won’t be enough for everything to mix together. I found this is true with my Vitamix.
  • If your blender is not very strong, I suggest blending the oats first to get a flour-like consistency and then adding the rest of the ingredients so they aren’t chunky.
  • Nutrition information does not include any cooking fat.
