Cottage Cheese Pancakes

My family can’t get enough of these pancakes. They are perfectly crisp on the outside and tender and moist inside. I love them because they are nutrient dense and won’t send your blood sugar soaring. The cottage cheese and eggs make them higher in protein than your average pancake and the sprouted oats are a great source of fiber. You can jazz them up with blueberries, bananas, chocolate chips or whatever your heart desires.
