Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup cottage cheese (I prefer 4%)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces sweet potato cooked and peeled
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground cloves
  • ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce or 1/2 ripe banana
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Optional Toppings
  • Greek Yogurt
  • Peanut Butter
  • Maple Syrup
  • Nuts

Method
 

  1. Combine oats, oat flour, baking powder, and salt in a high-speed blender or food processer. Blend until fully mixed.
  2. Add in the remaining ingredients (potato, egg, oil, cottage cheese, vanilla, syrup, applesauce, spices). Blend until smooth and well combined. Stop a few times to scrape the sides to ensure everything is well mixed.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add a little cooking oil and when the oil is hot, portion out the batter into small pancakes using a 1/4 measuring cup. I usually do 3 pancakes in a medium skillet.
  4. Cook until you see small bubbles forming on the top of the pancake and the edges seem dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Place cooked pancakes onto a plate and continue the process with the remaining batter. Enjoy warm with topping of choice!
