Ingredients:
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Avocado oil or butter
- Optional add-ins: Chocolate chips or blueberries

-
Instructions:
-
In a high-speed blender, add the oats, cottage cheese, eggs, baking soda, honey, and cinnamon. Blend on high until well combined and oats are blended, but do not to over mix. If adding optional add-ins, gently fold them into the batter once it’s blended.
-
Heat your oil or butter in a large pan over medium low heat.
-
Pour 1-2 heaping tablespoons of your mixture into the pan for each pancake, depending on how big you want them. You will likely need to do a couple of batches depending on how big your pan is. Wipe out the oil or butter between each batch to prevent the pancakes from burning.
-
Once the pancakes begin to bubble on the top and become a nice and golden brown, flip them over and cook until the other side is golden, another 1-2 minutes. Serve with Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, nut butter, berries or any other desired toppings!

Notes:
Substitute cottage cheese for ricotta or Greek yogurt
