Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

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

2 large eggs

1 ripe banana, mashed

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

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

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

Instructions
 

Blend the Oats: In a high-speed blender, add the rolled oats, cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt), eggs, mashed banana, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the batter is too thick, gradually add almond milk, mixing until you achieve a pourable consistency.

    Preheat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle on medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or butter, ensuring it’s evenly greased for optimal cooking.

      Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to firm up. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.

        Serve: After cooking all the pancakes, serve them warm. Top with your favorite fresh berries, a drizzle of pure maple syrup, or a dollop of nut butter for an extra boost of flavor and nutrition.

          Enjoy: Delight in your protein-packed oat pancakes as a nourishing breakfast option or a satisfying post-workout meal!
