Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place all ingredients - rolled oats, cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt - into a blender or food processor.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and completely combined, with no visible oat chunks.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some liquid and thicken slightly.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the heated surface, creating pancakes about 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on the first side, watching for small bubbles to form on the surface and edges to look slightly dry.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the second side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat the process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with optional toppings like fresh berries, Greek yogurt, honey, or maple syrup.
Tips
- Blending Perfection: Ensure you blend the ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free batter. A high-powered blender works best for achieving that silky consistency.
- Resting is Key: Don't skip the 2-3 minute resting period after blending. This allows the oats to absorb liquid and helps create a more tender pancake texture.
- Temperature Control: Keep your skillet at medium heat. Too hot, and you'll burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked; too cool, and you'll end up with pale, soggy pancakes.
- Flip with Confidence: Wait for those small bubbles to form and the edges to look slightly dry before flipping. This ensures a perfectly golden-brown pancake.
- Batch Cooking: If serving multiple people, keep finished pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while cooking the remaining batter.
- Customize Your Toppings: While delicious on their own, these pancakes love creative toppings. Try fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
