NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS:
Cottage Cheese: Great source of protein for muscle repair and calcium for bone health
Eggs: Super food! Rich in health fats and choline to support brain development
Oats: High in fiber and carbohydrates for sustain energy
Ingredients:
1 cup Cottage Cheese
2 Eggs
1 cup Rolled Oats
2 tsp Baking Powder
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions:
Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, baking powder, and vanilla extract. If your blender is not very powerful, blend the oats first until they form a fine flour-like consistency before adding the other ingredients.
Let Batter Rest: Allow the batter to sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb some moisture and helps to thicken the batter slightly.
Preheat Skillet: While the batter is resting, preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of oil to the skillet to prevent sticking.
Cook Pancakes: Pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges begin to set.
Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Just note that the pancakes will not bubble as much as traditional pancakes
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve them warm. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or nut butter for a delicious and satisfying breakfast treat.
