How to Make Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Blend the Batter
Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. This step is crucial—any cottage cheese lumps can affect texture.
Step 2: Rest the Batter
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes. This allows the oats (if used) to absorb moisture and results in fluffier pancakes.
Step 3: Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or coconut oil.
Step 4: Cook Slowly
Pour small rounds of batter onto the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping gently once bubbles appear.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Stack the pancakes while hot and serve immediately for the best texture.
Pro Tips for Perfect Fluffy Pancakes
- Low heat is key – High heat will burn the outside before the inside cooks.
- Small pancakes flip better – These are delicate, so keep them palm-sized.
- Blend thoroughly – A silky batter equals a soft pancake.
- Don’t rush the flip – Wait until the edges are set.
