Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • ½ cup quick oats or oat flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 12 tablespoon maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 tablespoon milk of choice

Optional Mix-ins

  • Berries
  • Chocolate chips
  • Nuts
  • Seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe dish about 5–8 inches wide to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the quick oats or oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, egg, cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk of your choice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Prepare to Bake: Pour the smooth batter into the prepared dish carefully.
  4. Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in any optional ingredients such as berries, chocolate chips, nuts, or seeds for added flavor and texture.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the pancake bowl is golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Optional Broil: For an extra golden crust, broil the pancake bowl for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the pancake bowl to cool slightly before serving to enhance texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour for quick oats for a smoother texture.
  • Adjust the amount of milk to get your preferred batter consistency.
  • Use any sweetener you prefer if you want to avoid maple syrup.
  • Customize with your favorite mix-ins for different flavor combinations.
  • Ensure the baking dish is oven-safe and appropriately sized for even cooking.
  • Watch closely when broiling to avoid burning your pancake bowl.
