# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Protein packed breakfast that actually tastes like a treat instead of health food
  • The blender does all the work so you can barely call it cooking
  • Fluffy texture that makes you forget theres cottage cheese in there at all
02 -
  • Let the batter rest for five minutes before cooking. This gives the oat flour time to hydrate and prevents gummy pancakes.
  • Medium heat is your sweet spot. Too high and they will burn before cooking through, too low and they will dry out.
  • These keep beautifully in the fridge for three days. Reheat in a toaster oven to restore the crispy edges.
03 -
  • Use a digital scale to measure your oat flour. Cup measurements can vary wildly and affect the final texture.
  • Certified gluten free oats are essential if you are avoiding gluten. Regular oats are often processed on shared equipment.
