When making Protein Power Oat Pancakes, the first step involves blending oats to create a flour-like consistency. This is crucial because the texture of the oats significantly affects the pancakes’ overall fluffiness and mouthfeel. Start with rolled oats, which are preferred for their ability to blend smoothly while retaining their nutritional benefits.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt for a dairy-free option)

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, nut butter, or a sprinkle of nuts/seeds

Instructions
 

Blend the Oats: In a blender or food processor, place the rolled oats and blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.

    Mix the Batter: Add the cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt), almond milk, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the blended oats. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.

      Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If using, lightly grease the surface with coconut oil or cooking spray.

        Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.

          Serve Warm: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a dollop of nut butter or yogurt.
