Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for a different flavor)

2 large eggs

1 banana, mashed

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp cinnamon

A pinch of salt

Cooking spray or coconut oil for greasing the pan

Optional toppings: fresh berries, maple syrup, nut butter, or honey

Instructions
 

Blend Oats: Start by placing the rolled oats in a blender or food processor. Blend until they reach a fine flour consistency. This will form the base of your pancake mix.

    Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, cottage cheese, eggs, mashed banana, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well combined.

      Heat the Pan: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil to prevent sticking.

        Pour Batter: Once the pan is hot, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread it into an even circle if needed.

          Cook Pancakes: Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip them gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

            Serve Warm: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you cook any remaining batter. Serve stacked high and topped with your choice of fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, nut butter, or honey.
