Method
 

Combine Base Ingredients
  1. In a medium bowl, blend 1 cup cottage cheese and 2 eggs until mostly smooth, with a few small lumps remaining. This takes about 2 minutes.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients
  1. Add 1/2 cup oat flour, 2 tablespoons sweetener, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir gently for 30 seconds until just combined.
Add Flavor
  1. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and any optional add-ins. Mix gently for 15 seconds to distribute flavors.
Prepare Cooking Surface
  1. Heat a lightly greased pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Ensure the temperature is right for cooking.
Cook Pancakes
  1. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the heated surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form.
Flip and Finish Cooking
  1. Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Confirm Doneness
  1. Check firmness; pancakes should spring back. If unsure, slice one to check if it's set.
Serve Warm
  1. Serve pancakes warm with toppings like yogurt, fruits, honey, or nuts.
