🥞 Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Ingredients (Makes 6–8 small pancakes)

- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

- Butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
1. Blend the Batter
- In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oats (if using), vanilla, cinnamon, honey, and salt.

2. Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a little butter or oil.
- Pour about 2–3 tbsp of batter per pancake.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on one side, until edges are set and bubbles appear.

3. Serve

- Fresh fruit 🍓🍌
- Greek yogurt
- Maple syrup or honey drizzle 🍯
- Nut butter for extra protein
🌟 Tips & Variations
- Extra fluffy: Add ½ tsp baking powder to the batter.
- Low-carb: Skip oats and just use eggs + cottage cheese.
- Savory version: Skip honey and cinnamon, add chopped herbs (dill, parsley) and serve with smoked salmon or avocado.
