Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • pinch fine salt
  • 2 tsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving)
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup oat flour (or blended rolled oats), 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and pinch fine salt in a blender. Blend on high for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 3 minutes - it will thicken slightly.

  2. 2

    Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add half the 2 tsp unsalted butter and swirl to coat the surface.

  3. 3

    Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear across the top surface and the edges look matte and set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the second side is golden.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining unsalted butter and batter. Serve immediately with 1/2 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving) and 2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for serving).
