- 2 medium eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup (90–100 grams) oat flour or whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, honey, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
- Add flour and mix well. Gradually add milk if the batter is too thick.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease lightly with olive oil, butter, or lard.
- Scoop batter onto the pan with a tablespoon to form small pancakes.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, flip, and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve:
- Place cooked pancakes on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve warm with toppings like fresh fruit, honey, or yogurt.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oat flour for a gluten-free option.
- Substitute mashed feta cheese for a savory twist.
- Add fresh berries or nuts directly into the batter for added texture and flavor.
