Ingredients
  

  • 220 g cottage cheese about 1 cup high in protein
  • 2 tablespoon milk for smoothness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds flavor
  • 1 large egg binds the ingredients together
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda helps fluff the pancakes
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoon ground oats acts as the flour replacement

Method
 

  1. Use an immersion blender to blend the cottage cheese in a bowl until completely smooth.
  2. Stir in the baking soda with a fork, then add vanilla extract, egg, and ground oats. Pour in a bit of milk and blend again until smooth.
  3. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, spreading it into a pancake shape. Once bubbles appear and the edges set, carefully flip the pancake.
  4. Cook the second side for about 2 minutes, then remove the pancake from the pan.
  5. Serve the pancakes while still warm with a dollop of butter, maple syrup (or honey), and fresh berries.
