Equipment
- Griddle or frying pan
- Blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil or veggie oil (only need 1 tsp for frying pan)
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat griddle to 375 degrees or heat a frying pan to medium high heat.
- Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of avocado oil on the griddle. With a pastry brush, coat the griddle surface in an even layer of oil.
- Add to a blender: 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and an 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Blend ingredients for about 30 seconds or until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour pancake batter onto the hot griddle. You should have enough batter for about 8 pancakes. If there is any left, add a little bit of batter to any smaller pancakes to make them all as evenly sized as possible.
- Cook for about 3 minutes, then carefully flip the pancakes over. Cook pancakes for another 2 minutes or until they are golden brown on both sides.
- Use a spatula to move the pancakes from the griddle to a serving plate.
Notes
- You may need to shake the blender bottle midway through blending, to catch any ingredients stuck to the top of the bottle
- A good clue that the pancakes are ready to be flipped for the first time is seeing tiny bubbles on the surface of the batter
- Try topping pancakes with maple syrup or berries for extra flavor
