Equipment

1 nonstick pan

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (220 grams) - I recommend full-fat
2 large eggs
1 cup rolled oats (100 grams)
2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Blend ingredients to make the batter. Add all ingredients to a blender in the order listed and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Make sure not to over-blend. Let 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. Using a 1/4 cup as a scoop, form into equal size pancakes. I get about 8 (you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your pan). Cook for 3-4 minutes until small bubbles start to form on the outside and the sides start to fluff up (there won't be a lot of bubbles though). Flip and cook for another 2-4 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.
