Step-by-Step Instructions for Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup of cottage cheese and 3 large eggs. Blend until mostly smooth.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of oat flour, 2 tablespoons of sweetener, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Fold gently.
  3. Mix until well incorporated, aiming for a slightly thick batter with small lumps.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir gently until evenly distributed.
  5. If desired, fold in ½ cup of blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts evenly.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
  7. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake on the skillet, cooking until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cook until firm yet fluffy; they should spring back when pressed.
  10. Keep warm in an oven set to 200°F if cooking multiple pancakes.
  11. Continue until all batter is used, creating a stack of pancakes.
  12. Serve topped with Greek yogurt, honey, or fruit.
