Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for cooking
Instructions:
-
Blend Oats: Start by blending the oats in a food processor or blender until they turn into a fine flour-like consistency.
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey/maple syrup. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the oat flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
-
Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries into the pancake batter.
-
Preheat Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease the cooking surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
-
Cook Pancakes: Once the pan is heated, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface, then carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula.
-
Cook Until Golden: Continue cooking the pancakes for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm. You can place them in a preheated oven at a low temperature if needed, while you cook the remaining batter.
-
Repeat: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm with additional blueberries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and any other desired toppings like Greek yogurt or chopped nuts.
Notes:
- You can customise these pancakes by adding other mix-ins such as chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or sliced bananas.
- This recipe yields approximately 8 medium-sized pancakes.
