Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is mostly smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Incorporate the oat flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, and salt into the cottage cheese mixture, gently stirring until combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract until just integrated.
  4. Fold in any optional add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips if desired.
  5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and grease it with cooking spray or butter.
  6. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated pan for each pancake and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
