How to Make Cottage Cheese Oat Pancakes
- In a blender or food processor, add cottage cheese, oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth. The batter will be thick.
- Lightly grease a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. If you have an electric griddle, heat it to 350℉.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet or griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on top and the edges are set, about 2-3 minutes each side.
- Serve with syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Tips for Making Cottage Cheese Oat Pancakes
Blend the Batter Until Smooth. Blending the cottage cheese and oats helps eliminate the curds and hard lumps to create a more uniform batter.
Use Medium-Low Heat. Cottage cheese oat pancakes can brown quickly on the outside while remaining undercooked in the center. Cooking them over medium-low heat allows the centers to cook through without burning the outsides.
How to know they’re ready. Wait until the edges appear set and the bottoms are golden brown before flipping. These pancakes may not form as many bubbles on the surface as traditional pancake batter.
Store and Reheat Leftovers. Refrigerate leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days (great for meal prep!) or freeze them for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave.
