Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup cooked oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • butter, oil, or non-stick spray, as needed
  • honey or maple syrup, garnish
  • fruit preserves or whipped cream, garnish

Instruction

  • In a blender or food processor, pulse together cottage cheese, flour, and oats for 10-15 seconds, or until mostly smooth.
  • Mix in eggs (one at a time) until incorporated.
  • Transfer batter to a bowl or to a large measuring cup with a spout and stir in vanilla extract. Then add baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Heat a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Swirl it around to grease the pan.
  • Once the pan is hot, pour batter in to form 4-5 mini pancakes. Note: you could also make regular size pancakes, though cooking time will vary.
  • Let pancakes cook without moving until little bubbles form on the top and they’re golden brown on the bottom. About 2 minutes per side.
  • Flip pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
  • Remove from pan and transfer to a serving plate.
  • Repeat with remaining batter (continuing to grease pan between uses), then serve, garnished with honey, maple syrup, fruit preserves or whipped cream.
