Ingredients (Makes About 8 Pancakes)
1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese
1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, diced
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Blend the Batter
In a blender, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and honey (if using).
Blend for about 30–45 seconds, or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Tip: Don’t overblend — you still want a little texture from the oats to help the pancakes hold together.
Step 2: Fold in the Strawberries
Pour the blended batter into a medium bowl.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries using a spatula. This keeps them from breaking apart and turning the batter pink too soon.
Pro Tip: You can also add a few chocolate chips or chia seeds for extra flavor and nutrition.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a few drops of oil or butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
Cook for 3–4 minutes, until small bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges look set.
Don’t rush! Lower heat gives the pancakes time to rise and stay fluffy.
Step 4: Flip and Finish
Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer them to a plate and keep warm while you finish the rest of the batch.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve your pancakes warm with:
Fresh strawberry slices
A drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup
A spoonful of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess
Or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for some crunch
These pancakes are delicious on their own — but they’re even better when shared with someone you love
