Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Introduce the oat flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture. Fold in gently.
  3. Mix the batter until just combined, leaving some small lumps.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract gently.
  5. If desired, fold in optional add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips.
  6. Let the batter sit for about 5 to 10 minutes to enhance fluffiness.
  7. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it with cooking spray or butter.
  8. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form.
  9. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Ensure pancakes spring back when pressed; if not, cook a bit longer.
  11. Keep finished pancakes warm in a preheated oven until ready to serve.
  12. Continue with remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.
