🔪How to make cottage cheese pancakes
Put the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, maple syrup and cinnamon in a blender.
Blend on high for about 1 minute. Cook pancakes on a hot grill for about 2 minutes per side.
🥣Equipment
You'll need a blender to blend up the cottage cheese pancake ingredients.
And you'll need something to cook the pancakes on.
You can use a good ol' fashioned non-stick pan or a separate, plug-in griddle.
🥡Storage and Leftovers
These cottage cheese pancakes freeze like a dream.
I make a big batch and then freeze them in a long, airtight container with parchment paper between the layers of pancakes.
Enjoy the pancakes!
