How to Make Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes (Overview)

Blend it up: Toss all your ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. No lumps allowed!
Heat up: Preheat that skillet so your pancakes cook evenly and get that nice golden crust.
Pour and flip: Scoop, sizzle, and flip like a pro. Just wait for those bubbles to tell you when it’s time to turn!
Serve it up: Add the yummy toppings of your choice—more on that later!

Pro tip: Don’t let the batter sit too long; it can thicken up quite a bit.
