Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Pancakes
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Gently stir in the oat flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt into the cottage cheese mixture until just combined.
  3. Add the vanilla extract to the batter and mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  4. If adding blueberries or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Preheat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and grease with cooking spray or butter.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Press down on the center of a pancake to check doneness; it should spring back slightly.
  9. For serving warm, place pancakes in a preheated oven at 200°F until ready to enjoy.
  10. Continue pouring and cooking remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
