Instructions

1

Blend the batter

Add oats, cottage cheese, eggs, protein powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon and honey to a blender. Blend on high for 45 seconds until the batter is completely smooth and no oat chunks remain.

2

Rest the batter

Let the batter rest for 3 minutes so the oats can absorb moisture and the baking powder activates. The batter should thicken slightly during this time.

3

Heat the pan

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles gently on the surface.

4

Cook the pancakes

Pour roughly one quarter cup of batter per pancake into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip once and cook for another 2 minutes until golden.

5

Serve immediately

Stack the finished pancakes and top with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or Greek yogurt. Serve hot for the best texture and flavor.

Substitutions

Common mistakes

Cooking on heat that is too high which burns the outside before the inside is cooked through
Flipping the pancake too early before bubbles have formed on the surface
Skipping the resting step which results in a thin runny batter
