Step 1

In a blender or food processor, pulse together cottage cheese, flour, and oats for 10-15 seconds, or until mostly smooth.

Step 2

Mix in eggs (one at a time) until incorporated.

Step 3

Transfer batter to a bowl or to a large measuring cup with a spout and stir in vanilla extract. Then add baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Heat a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Swirl it around to grease the pan.

Step 5

Once the pan is hot, pour batter in to form 4-5 mini pancakes. Note: you could also make regular size pancakes, though cooking time will vary.

Step 6

Let pancakes cook without moving until little bubbles form on the top and they’re golden brown on the bottom. About 2 minutes per side.

Step 7

Flip pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from pan and transfer to a serving plate.

Step 9

Repeat with remaining batter (continuing to grease pan between uses), then serve, garnished with honey, maple syrup, fruit preserves or whipped cream.
