Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for a dairy-free option)

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, nut butter, or a sprinkle of nuts/seeds

Instructions
 

Blend the Oats: Place the rolled oats into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the oats transform into a fine flour-like texture, ensuring a smooth base for your pancakes.

    Mix the Batter: To the blended oats, add in the cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt), almond milk, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend all the ingredients on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. If the batter appears too thick, simply add a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency.

      Preheat the Pan: Set a non-stick skillet or griddle on medium heat. For better results, lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or cooking spray, ensuring the pancakes do not stick while cooking.

        Cook the Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until you notice bubbles forming on the surface. Once bubbles have formed, flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the pancakes are fully cooked through.

          Serve Warm: Carefully remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve them hot. Top with your favorite accompaniments, such as a handful of fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a generous dollop of nut butter or yogurt.

            Prep Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes | Servings: 4 (approximately 8 pancakes)

              - Presentation Tips: Stack the pancakes neatly on a plate, and visually enhance them with a vibrant assortment of toppings. A sprinkle of nuts or seeds adds texture and a touch of elegance, making your plate as appealing as it is nutritious!
