Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until mostly smooth, leaving some lumps for texture.
  2. Add the oat flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt to the mixture and gently fold together until just combined.
  3. Pour in the vanilla extract and fold it into the batter until evenly distributed.
  4. If using, gently fold in any optional add-ins like blueberries or nuts.
  5. Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes.
  6. Preheat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
  8. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  9. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Keep pancakes warm in the oven at 200°F (93°C) if desired.

Notes

For a smoother texture, ensure the cottage cheese is blended well but remain a few lumps for fluffiness. Adjust heat if pancakes brown too quickly.
