Step 1: Blend the Batter

1. Combine Ingredients in Blender – Add rolled oats, cottage cheese, banana, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt into a blender.
2. Blend Until Smooth – Blend on high speed until the batter is smooth and pourable. If it’s too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water to adjust the consistency.
3. Let Batter Rest – Allow the batter to sit for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken, ensuring fluffy pancakes.

Step 2: Preheat the Skillet

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

1. Pour the Batter – Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop and pour the batter onto the skillet, forming evenly-sized pancakes.
2. Cook Until Bubbles Form – Let pancakes cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface.
3. Flip the Pancakes – Gently flip using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Repeat – Continue cooking in batches, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 4: Serve and Add Toppings

1. Stack the Pancakes – Transfer cooked pancakes onto a plate and stack them for a classic pancake presentation.
2. Choose Your Favorite Toppings:
   • Add fresh berries for natural sweetness and antioxidants.
   • Drizzle honey or maple syrup for extra flavor.
   • Spread nut butter for added protein and healthy fats.
   • Add Greek yogurt for a creamy, tangy contrast.

Step 5: Enjoy Immediately

1. Serve Hot – These pancakes taste best fresh and warm!
2. Pair with a Hot Beverage – Enjoy them with coffee, tea, or a smoothie for a balanced meal.
3. Store Leftovers – If you have extras, store them properly for later use (see storage tips below).
