gredients**
**For the pancakes:**
– 1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
– 1/2 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 scoop (30 g) vanilla protein powder (optional but recommended)
– 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
**For the blueberry pie topping:**
– 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
– 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (to thicken)
– 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions**
**Make the pancakes:**
1. In a blender, combine the chopped oats, cottage cheese, eggs, protein powder, almond milk, baking soda, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Should be fairly thick but still manageable.
2. **Add the blueberries:** Gently stir in the blueberries after blending so they don’t break up.
3. **Cook the pancakes:** Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spray lightly with cooking spray or grease with a little butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook on one side for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
*Prepare the Blueberry Pie Topping:**
1. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries and honey. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to release their juices (about 3-4 minutes).
2. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
*Assemble and Serve:**
1. Place the pancakes on a plate and spoon the warm blueberry pie topping over the pancakes.
2. Optionally, top with a tablespoon of Greek yogurt, whipped cream, or granola for extra texture and flavor.
