Ingredients

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/2 cup full fat cottage cheese
• 2 large eggs
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients into the blender. Blend on high speed until everything is combined. This should take about 30 seconds. The texture will be quite thin, but there may be some chunks.
2. Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat. Pour about two tablespoons worth of batter onto the pan. Leave enough space between each pancake.
3. Cook the pancakes until the cottage cheese pancakes’ edges are set and have a golden bottom. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another minute or two.
4. Place the first batch of pancakes on a plate, and repeat the steps until you use up all the batter.
5. Add whatever toppings you like to the pancakes, and have a delicious breakfast!

Notes

The cottage cheese pancake batter is thinner than other pancakes, so it’s best to use a nonstick pan for cooking. 

• Make sure to cook the pancakes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding will make it harder for the pancakes to set and get crispy edges. 
• The pancake batter doesn’t bubble up like a typical pancake batter. Keep an eye on the color of the pancakes to measure their doneness. 
• Refrigerate any extra pancakes in an airtight container for a max of 5 days.
