My Ideas for Excellent Cottage Cheese Pancakes

• No Excessive-Pace Blender? No Downside! Should you don’t have a high-spend blender, you possibly can tweak the method barely. I like to recommend including the oats to your blender and blitzing them till they type a powder. Then add the remainder of the elements and mix once more. (A meals processor will work too.)
• Let the Batter Relaxation. I do know we’re all impatient as a result of we wish pancakes and we wish them NOW, however letting the batter relaxation permits the bottom oats to take in the liquid. This implies thicker, fluffier pancakes.
• Maintain the Warmth at Medium-Low. This batter is thick and it wants time to cook dinner via. Cooking on medium-low offers it enough time to utterly set within the center with out burning the outsides.

So as to add much more protein to my breakfast, I like serving these cottage cheese pancakes alongside Cottage Cheese Eggs or Turkey Sausage.

Or if I’m feelin’ fancy, I’ll prime them with Selfmade Apple Pie Filling, which I preserve stockpiled within the freezer.
