Equipment

Ingredients
- - 1 cup cottage cheese low-fat or full-fat
- - 2 large eggs
- - 1/2 cup rolled oats or oat flour
- - 1 tsp vanilla extract
- - 1/2 tsp baking powder
- - Pinch of salt
- - 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional, for sweetness
- - 1/4 cup milk or dairy-free milk

Instructions
- **Make the Batter**: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, oats (or oat flour), vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and milk. Whisk together until the batter is smooth and well combined. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the mixture in a blender.
- **Cook the Pancakes**: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the pancakes are golden brown.
- **Serve**: Stack the pancakes and serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
