Full Recipe
Ingredients (makes 12 mini pancakes):
1 cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
½ cup oat flour (or almond flour for low-carb option)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup diced fresh or frozen strawberries
1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Pinch of salt
Cooking spray or a little butter for the pan
Directions:
1. Blend the base: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey/maple syrup. Blend or whisk until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the dry mix: Stir in oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until just combined — don’t overmix.
3. Fold in strawberries: Gently add the diced strawberries to the batter.
4. Heat the pan: Spray a non-stick skillet or lightly grease it with butter. Warm over medium heat.
5. Cook the minis: Pour small spoonfuls of batter (about 2 tbsp each) onto the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and fluffy.
6. Repeat until all batter is used. Keep pancakes warm under a clean towel or in a low oven.
