Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of cottage cheese and 2 large eggs until mostly smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of oat flour, 2 tablespoons of sweetener, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt; gently stir until just combined.
  3. Fold in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and any optional add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips gently.
  4. Allow the batter to rest for around 5-10 minutes.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or lightly oiled griddle over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges firm.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Check doneness by gently pressing each pancake; they should spring back when fully cooked.
  9. Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches.
