Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Description
The recipe blends old-fashioned oats with cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to create a smooth batter. The oats are pulsed briefly in a blender to maintain texture but allow blending with the wet ingredients. Cooking on medium-low heat helps the pancakes set without burning, developing a lightly crisp edge and soft interior.
The flavor profile combines mild sweetness from vanilla and cinnamon with the subtle tang of cottage cheese. The pancakes are thick and hold shape well, making them easy to flip and serve with traditional toppings like syrup, fruit, or yogurt.
Using full-fat or reduced-fat cottage cheese is preferable to maintain moisture and richness; fat-free versions are not recommended. Eggs taken directly from the fridge work well. The oats add bulk and structure, making these pancakes a more substantial alternative to typical flour-based ones.

- 1 cup cottage cheese 4% or 2% ok
