Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225 g) small-curd, full-fat cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk (any kind: almond, oat, or dairy)
  • 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or preferred sugar substitute)
  • Cooking oil or butter for the pan (coconut oil or butter recommended)

Instructions

  1. Add 1 cup (90 g) of rolled oats to a blender or food processor. Pulse until they become a fine flour, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add 1 cup (225 g) of small-curd cottage cheese and 3 large eggs (room temperature) to the oat flour. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and creamy, roughly 45 seconds.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional), and a pinch of salt.
  4. Pour the wet batter into the dry mix. Add ¼ cup (60 ml) of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined. If the batter is too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time.
  5. Add 1-2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter and spread evenly. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles instantly.
  7. Using a ¼ cup (60 ml) measuring cup, pour batter onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  8. Gently flip with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Avoid pressing down on the pancakes.
  9. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Serve warm with favorite toppings.

Notes

Blending the cottage cheese and oats until smooth is key for fluffy pancakes. Use room temperature eggs to avoid clumping. Cook on medium heat to prevent burning and ensure pancakes cook through. For gluten-free, substitute oats with almond or oat flour. For vegan, use flax eggs and dairy-free cottage cheese alternatives.
