Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Add all ingredients (oats, cottage cheese, eggs, salt, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and honey) to a high-speed blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the pancakes (first side): Pour the batter onto the skillet in evenly spaced portions to form pancakes. Cook until the edges are set and the bottom is golden brown, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook second side: Gently flip each pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
- Repeat cooking: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and continue cooking the remaining batter in batches, repeating the process.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings like maple syrup, honey, butter, or jam.
Notes
- To keep pancakes warm while you finish cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a warm oven (about 200°F).
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the pancakes before they cook through.
- Use old-fashioned oats for best texture; quick oats may produce a different consistency.
- These pancakes can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or microwave for quick breakfast options.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute eggs and cottage cheese with suitable plant-based alternatives, though texture will vary.
