Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- Add the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, and a pinch of salt to your blender. Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and all oat pieces are fully incorporated. Alternatively, if you are using a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk vigorously until the batter is well-combined and as smooth as possible.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
- Place your non-stick frying pan over low to medium heat on the stovetop. Add the coconut oil or butter to the pan. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom surface evenly.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- Once the pan is hot, pour approximately ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the prepared surface. Cook the pancakes, ideally covered with a lid, for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until you see small bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look set. Carefully slide your spatula underneath each pancake and flip it over. Cook the second side for another 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are beautifully golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
- Transfer the freshly cooked 3-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Pancakes to a plate. Repeat the cooking process with any remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan if needed for subsequent batches. Serve your hot and fluffy cottage cheese pancakes right away with your favorite toppings.

Notes
For perfect texture, blend the batter until completely smooth, avoiding overmixing if using a whisk. Use a high-quality non-stick pan over low to medium heat, and consider covering the pan during the first side of cooking to enhance fluffiness. Cooked pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months (with parchment paper between layers). The batter can also be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge; simply whisk before cooking. This versatile batter is also excellent for making waffles!
