Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture. Let the batter rest for 3–4 minutes before cooking so the oats can absorb moisture. Cook over medium-low heat and wait for bubbles to form before flipping. These pancakes are best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 6 weeks.
