## The Irresistible Allure of Pancakes
Who doesn't love pancakes? They are a beloved breakfast staple that brings joy and comfort to many. The mere thought of fluffy, golden pancakes sizzling on a griddle can evoke feelings of nostalgia, reminding us of family breakfasts and lazy weekend mornings. I personally relish any opportunity to linger over breakfast, savoring each bite and enjoying the warmth of the meal.
These simple, gluten-free, protein-packed pancakes are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to whip up. The beauty of this recipe lies in its straightforward preparation, requiring minimal ingredients that you likely already have on hand. With just a few simple steps, you can create a batch of pancakes that are both satisfying and nourishing. The gluten-free aspect ensures that those with dietary restrictions can indulge without worry, while the protein content makes them a great choice for starting the day with energy and vitality.
To elevate your pancake experience, consider adding some fresh fruit on top. Whether you choose sweet, ripe strawberries, tart blueberries, or even slices of banana, the addition of fruit not only enhances the flavor but also adds a burst of color and a nutritional boost. The natural sweetness of the fruit pairs beautifully with the pancakes, making each bite a delightful treat.
These pancakes are not just for special occasions; they are perfect for any day of the week. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, hosting a brunch, or simply treating yourself on a Saturday morning, these pancakes are a versatile choice. You can easily customize them by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or even spices like cinnamon to suit your taste preferences.
With their comforting texture and endless possibilities for toppings and variations, they can turn any breakfast into a special occasion. So why not indulge in a stack of these delightful gluten-free, protein-packed pancakes? You deserve to enjoy every moment at the breakfast table, creating memories with each delicious bite.

Oat Flour
To make your own oat flour simply put your oats in a blender and blend until finely ground. It's that simple. I keep some on hand for baking throughout the week. I use glyphosate free oats from One Degree.
Notes
1
Whisk the cottage cheese, egg, vanilla, melted ghee and maple syrup together.
2
Add the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until combined.
3
Heat a non-toxic nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is heated add a bit of ghee or butter to the pan. Spoon the mixture into the pan for cakes. It will be thick so you will need to help spread it out. Cook until deliciously browned and flip.
4
The cheese will become yummy and caramelized. They almost taste like cheese cake for breakfast. Once the pancakes are done serve with toasted nuts, a side of bacon or sausage and fresh fruit that is in season. I hope you enjoy these cakes as much as I do. Let me know what you think.
