Ingredients

For the pancakes:

butter for frying
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup cottage cheese (I use Daisy brand, 4% milkfat)
3 eggs (large, at room temperature)

For the topping:

frozen berries (mixed berries work well)
maple syrup (pure maple syrup for best flavor)
peanut butter

Step 1: Gather and Blend Ingredients

Start by gathering the ingredients: ½ cup of oats, ½ cup of cottage cheese, and 3 eggs.

Combine these ingredients in a blender.

Blend the mixture for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth and well-mixed.

Step 2: Prepare the Pan

Heat a small knob of butter in a frying pan over medium heat (setting 4 or 5 on an electric stove).

Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 3: Cook the Pancake

Pour the pancake batter into the pan.

If you have a lid available, cover the pan to help cook the top of the pancake more evenly.

Cook the pancake for about 9 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear firm.

Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fully cooked.

Step 4: Serve the Pancake

Once cooked, remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a plate.

Cut the pancake into quarters for easier serving.

Top the pancake with frozen berries, maple syrup, and peanut butter as desired.

Enjoy your delicious, high-protein breakfast!
