Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup oat bran or substitute with all-purpose flour to make a total of 1 cup flour in the recipe
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs extra large in original; large eggs used
  • 1 cup cottage cheese small-curd, 1% low fat used
  • 1/2 cup milk almond milk, unsweetened used
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Skillet or Griddle
  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Sifter or fine mesh sieve

Method
 

  1. Heat a nonstick griddle to 350°F or warm a skillet over medium and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, oat bran, baking soda, and salt into a bowl to remove lumps.
  3. Place the sifted dry ingredients in a blender. Add the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, and vanilla.
  4. Blend until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the hot griddle or skillet, leaving space between pancakes.
  6. Cook until the edges are set and bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the second side is golden and cooked through.
  7. Serve the pancakes immediately.

Notes

  • Use all-purpose flour for a full cup if you skip oat bran.
  • Full-fat cottage cheese yields a richer flavor.
  • For thicker pancakes, use 2 eggs and omit the milk.
