Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbs flour (all-purpose, gluten-free, spelt)
  • 2 tsp flaxseed meal
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbs maple syrup
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1-2 tbs milk (optional, to thin the batter)

Instructions
 

  • Blend the Batter: Add the cottage cheese, oats, egg whites, egg, flour, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, maple syrup, and flaxseed meal to a large pitcher. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth. (You can also combine all ingredients in a standard blender and blend until completely smooth.)
  • Heat the Skillet: Warm a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Pour the batter into the skillet to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles appear on the top and the edges begin to set, then flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  • Serve: Enjoy warm with butter, maple syrup, fruit, or your favorite toppings.
