Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, sweetener, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined but still slightly lumpy (don't overmix).
Step 2
2. If using add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter with a spatula.
Step 3
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 325°F/160°C). Lightly coat with cooking spray or butter.
Step 4
4. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between each one.
Step 5
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. The pancakes won't bubble as much as traditional ones, so watch for the edges to firm up.
Step 6
6. Flip carefully with a thin spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
7. Transfer to a warm plate and repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
