Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings 9 medium sized pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2-3 teaspoons sweetener of choice, such as maple syrup or stevia
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add the oats to a food processor or blender. Blend until the oats turn into a powder resembling flour.
  • Next, add the liquid egg whites, cottage cheese, baking powder, sweetener, and vanilla to the blender with the oat flour.
  • Blend the ingredients well. The texture should resemble traditional pancake batter.
  • Heat a nonstick griddle or nonstick fry pan over medium heat.
  • Spray the pan or skillet with non-stick spray or coat with a small amount of butter.
  • Using a ¼ measuring cup, ladle the mix onto the skillet or pan. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve with syrup or toppings of choice.

Notes

    • For a smoother texture, blend or process the batter until well combined and oats are finely ground.
    • Use a non-stick pan or griddle, or lightly grease the cooking surface with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
    • Use a measuring cup or ladle to pour consistent amounts of batter onto the cooking surface for evenly sized pancakes. Wait until the edges of the pancakes look set and bubbles form on the surface before flipping. Use a spatula to gently flip the pancakes to avoid breaking them.
    • If avoiding sugar, use sugar-free syrup or use a dollop of yogurt with no added sugar.
