Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 g) full-fat cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs (about 150 g)
- 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder

- Mix Your Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking powder, and salt for even distribution.

- Heat the Pan: In a skillet or griddle over medium heat, drizzle oil or melt butter.
