Ingredients
- 100 g cottage cheese
- 40 g oats
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, oats and egg in a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth.100 g cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 40 g oats
- Place a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Add a tiny drizzle of olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add tablespoons of the pancake mixture - they should be around ½cm thick, so if necessary, spread the mixture slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook for 2 minutes1 teaspoon olive oil
- Flip the pancakes with a flat spatula and cook on the remaining side for a further 2 minutes
Notes
If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can make the mixture by hand, but it's best to start with oat flour rather than whole oats for a smoother texture.
If necessary, cook the pancakes in 2 batches so that there is space in the pan to flip them easily.
You can cook cottage cheese pancakes in butter if you prefer, but take care, as I have found that it is more likely to burn.
