Scale
Essentials:
- 1 1/3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs (or 1 flax egg for vegan)
- 1/2 cup water, milk, or dairy-free milk
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Dash of cinnamon
Optional Add-ons:

Substitutions:
- Rolled oats → oat flour
- Cottage cheese → Greek yogurt
- Milk → any plant-based milk or water

Instructions
- Preheat: Heat your griddle or skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle water—if it sizzles and dances, it’s ready.
- Make Oat Flour: In a blender or food processor, blend oats and baking powder until they form a fine flour.
- Blend Batter: Add cottage cheese, eggs, milk or water, olive oil, vanilla, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Cook: Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with toppings like fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, nut butter, or yogurt.
Notes
- Make a double batch and freeze extras for quick breakfasts.
- Reheat pancakes in the toaster or skillet for best texture.
