Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of cottage cheese and 3 large eggs until mostly broken down and creamy.
  2. Add 1 cup of oat flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sweetener, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the mixture, gently folding until just combined.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until evenly blended.
  4. If using, fold in a handful of optional add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
  5. Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Preheat your griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or butter.
  7. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the heated surface, spacing them an inch apart.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Press lightly on a pancake with a spatula to check doneness; it should feel firm.
  10. Keep pancakes warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) if making a larger batch.
  11. Repeat until all batter is used, yielding about 6-8 pancakes.
