Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of cottage cheese and 3 eggs until you achieve a mainly smooth consistency.
  2. Sprinkle in 1 cup of oat flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sweetener, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold into your wet mixture.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract for flavor enhancement.
  4. If desired, fold in any optional add-ins like fresh blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts.
  5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip pancakes once golden brown and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Check doneness by pressing the center; they should feel firm with a slight spring back.
  9. Serve warm or keep in a preheated oven at 200°F if not serving immediately.
