- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tbsp milk of choice
Optional Mix-ins and Toppings
- Optional: berries, chocolate chips, or nuts
- Syrup, nut butter, or fruit for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish, bowl, or ramekin. A 5×7 inch dish works well for this recipe.
- Blend Ingredients: Add all the batter ingredients, except any optional mix-ins, into a blender. Blend until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish. Gently fold in berries, chocolate chips, or nuts if you are using any.
- Bake: Bake the pancake bowl for 20 to 25 minutes until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Broil for Crispiness (Optional): For a crispier top, broil the pancake bowl for 1 to 2 minutes at the end of baking. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve: Top with your favorite toppings such as syrup, nut butter, or fresh fruit and enjoy the pancake bowl warm.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with blended quick oats if needed.
- Use any milk of choice, including dairy or plant-based options.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup or sweetener.
- Watch the broiling step carefully to avoid burning the top.
