Instructions
Creating these delicious Protein-Packed Pancakes is straightforward! Follow these easy steps to whip up your breakfast:
1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine rolled oats, cottage cheese, milk, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb some moisture, leading to better texture.
3. Heat the Skillet: In a non-stick skillet or frying pan, heat a small amount of coconut oil or butter over medium heat.
4. Pour the Batter: Using a ladle, pour the batter onto the heated skillet to form pancakes. Use about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
5. Cook Until Bubbly: Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
7. Keep Warm: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm in an oven set at 200°F (93°C) while you continue with the remaining batter.
8. Serve Warm: Once all pancakes are cooked, they are ready to be served!
