How to Make Cottage Cheese Pancakes

1. Blend the batter

Add cottage cheese, eggs, oats, baking powder, vanilla, and cinnamon to a blender. Blend until mostly smooth.

2. Cook

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Spoon small pancakes into the pan and cook until bubbles form and the edges begin to set, then flip and cook the second side.

3. Serve

Top with berries, Greek yogurt, or a small drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips

• Keep the pancakes small so they flip easily.
• Cook over medium-low heat to prevent the outside from browning too quickly.
• Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes if it seems thin.

Storage

Refrigerate cooked pancakes for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet, toaster oven, or microwave.
