Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or neutral oil

Method
 

  1. Blend the rolled oats for 15 seconds into a rough flour, then add the cottage cheese, eggs, protein powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and maple syrup and blend for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth. Let the batter rest 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 tsp coconut oil for about 2 minutes until the oil shimmers.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook 1 to 2 more minutes until deep golden brown.
  4. Stack on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, top with fresh berries, and add a pat of butter to finish.

Notes

These pancakes are forgiving if you swap the cottage cheese for Greek yogurt, but give the batter the full 2 to 3 minute rest either way so the oat flour hydrates properly. If you are cooking for one, the leftover batter keeps in the fridge for up to 24 hours, covered.
