1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
-
In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oats, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), honey, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, and let the batter sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken.

Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, or yogurt.
