Ingredients
- 100g cottage cheese
- 150g porridge oats (gluten free if needed)
- 2 eggs
- 50ml milk (any kind)
- ½ tsp baking powder (gluten free if needed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tsp maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tsp flavourless oil or unsalted butter, to cook
- poached egg and roasted tomatoes, or
- fresh berries and maple syrup
Method
Put all the pancake ingredients, except the oil, in a blender, but only use the vanilla and maple syrup if you want to make sweet pancakes. Blitz to make a smooth batter. Alternatively, pour the ingredients into a jug and use a stick blender.
Heat a little of the oil or butter in a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat, and add a few tablespoons of the batter to the pan to make small pancakes. Cook in batches if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 mins until bubbles come to the surface, and the top looks set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 min mins until golden brown on both sides. Keep the pancakes warm while you cook the remaining batches.
Serve the pancakes topped with a poached egg each and some roasted tomatoes, or top with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
