Method
 

Preparation Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together cottage cheese and eggs until creamy.
  2. Add oat flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the wet mixture.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
  4. Gently fold in any optional add-ins if desired.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
  7. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Check doneness by pressing; they should bounce back.
  10. Keep warm in a 200°F oven if cooking in batches.
