Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats Use gluten-free oats if necessary.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder Ensure it's fresh for proper leavening.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Enhances flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Use low-fat or full-fat based on preference.
  • 1 cup milk Dairy or non-dairy milk can be used.
  • 2 large eggs Room temperature for better mixing.
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds flavor.
For Cooking
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil For greasing the skillet.

Method
 

Prepare the Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
  2. In another bowl, combine the cottage cheese, milk, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Cook the Pancakes
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter or oil to coat the surface.
  2. Once the skillet is hot, use a ladle or measuring cup to pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
  3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve
  1. Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or additional syrup.
