Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese

- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Add the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a blender.
Step 2
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the blender, if needed, to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
Step 4
Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly if needed.
Step 5
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set.
Step 6
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 8
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup, or nut butter.
