What you need

Ingredients

1 cup (8 oz) full-fat cottage cheese · 4 large eggs · 1 cup rolled oats · 1 tbsp maple syrup, plus more to serve · 1 tsp vanilla extract · 1 tsp baking powder

Step 1

Blend the batter

Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt for 30 seconds, until completely smooth.

Step 2

Let it rest

Rest the batter 5 minutes. The oats hydrate and thicken it from crepe-thin to proper pancake consistency.

Step 3

Heat the pan properly

Warm a nonstick skillet over medium-low with a little butter. Too hot and the outside sets before the protein-heavy center cooks through.

Step 4

Cook low and slow

Pour 1/4-cup rounds and cook 3 minutes, until bubbles hold their shape at the edges, then flip and cook 2 minutes more.

Chef's tip

Medium-low, always

Egg-heavy batter browns long before the middle sets. Lower heat and an extra minute is the whole trick.
