Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat, but full-fat works too) Ensure your cottage cheese is fresh for the best flavor.
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour (you can also use almond flour for a nutty flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt
  • Coconut oil or butter for cooking (for greasing the pan)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free oat flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and gently fold it all together using a spatula until just combined.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil or butter.
Cooking
  1. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet.
  2. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
  3. Flip the pancake carefully with a spatula, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
  4. Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a preheated oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes

Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to tough pancakes. For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs.
