Method

  1. 1

    Blitz the oats in a blender to a fine flour. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and blend until smooth.

  2. 2

    Let the batter rest so the oats hydrate and it thickens slightly.

    Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and wipe with a little oil. Add 2 tbsp batter per pancake.

Substitutions

  • No blender? Use ready-made oat flour and mash the cottage cheese well with a fork.
  • Lower-carb: replace the oats with 40 g ground almonds and skip the maple syrup.
  • Extra protein: blend in 20 g vanilla whey and add a splash of milk to loosen.
