Follow this recipe for Cottage Cheese Pancakes that are springy, light, fluffy and gluten free

These pancakes keep their springy quality with the help of the eggs.

You'll also notice that the pancakes in my photos are yellow. I used a really good egg with a rich yolk to give it that hint of color.

But the springiness also comes from whizzing the mixture together in your blender (or stick blender). By doing so, it adds a bit of air to the batter.

Quick tips for making oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes

I can't end this without giving you a few tips and notes on making this pancake recipe:

1. You may notice the batter thickens as you get to the end of the batch. This all depends on how long it takes you to cook them. That's because the oats soak in some of the liquid. So, you shouldn't need to worry. But if you prefer, you can add a teaspoon of milk or water to loose up the batter if it becomes too thick.
2. Give the batter a quick spread with the back of the spoon if it becomes too thick on the pan when you drop the batter on.
3. Flip the pancake when the top has several bubbles and starts to look dry and shiny. The bottom will also have a golden brown color.
