Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese Provides protein and moisture, creating a fluffy texture; small curd yields the best results.
  • 2 whole eggs Acts as a binder and contributes to the fluffiness of the pancakes.
  • 1 cup oats Offers structure; can be blended into a fine flour for an even smoother batter.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the pancakes rise, achieving that light, airy texture.
For Optional Flavors
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a lovely aromatic sweetness; perfect for elevating the flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Infuses warmth and spice; a delightful touch that complements the pancakes beautifully.
  • fresh fruits (like blueberries or bananas) Stir in for natural sweetness and added nutrition.

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by adding 1 cup of small curd cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 1 cup of oats, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 30 seconds.
  2. While the batter rests, place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Allow it to warm for about 2-3 minutes. If needed, lightly grease the skillet with oil or cooking spray.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until they are golden brown on both sides.
  4. Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and cover them with aluminum foil to keep warm while you prepare the remaining batter.
  5. Once all the pancakes are cooked and kept warm, serve immediately with fresh fruits, honey, maple syrup, or yogurt.

Notes

Use small curd cottage cheese for a smoother batter and avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
