Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup cottage cheese (2% or 4% fat)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup rolled oats or quick oats

Instructions

Blend the Batter: Place cottage cheese, eggs, oats, protein powder, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt into a blender. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth.
Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit in the blender for 2-3 minutes. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid for fluffier pancakes.
Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly coat with butter or coconut oil spray.
Pour and Cook: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form and edges look set.
The Flip: Gently flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and firm.

Notes

Resist using high heat; these can burn quickly due to the protein content. For the best texture, ensure the cottage cheese is fully blended to remove lumps. Top with fresh bananas or Greek yogurt for an extra boost.
