Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Blend the ingredients by combining cottage cheese, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  2. Incorporate the oats, baking powder, and salt into the blender. Blend on low speed until fully combined and the oats are finely ground, about 30 seconds more.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or oil and let it melt, swirling to coat the skillet.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low-temperature oven until all pancakes are ready.
  6. Serve warm with toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
