Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil

Cooking instructions

1. Add cottage cheese, eggs, oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to a blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down once if needed. Let the batter stand for 2 minutes to thicken. (about 3 min)
2. Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake, leaving space between them. (about 2 min) — Medium-low heat
3. Cook until the edges look set and bubbles form on the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes. (about 3 min) — Medium-low heat
4. Flip the pancakes and cook until the centers are set and the bottoms are lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes more. (about 3 min) — Medium-low heat
5. Repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the skillet as needed. (about 4 min) — Medium-low heat
