Directions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease 4 large ramekins or oven-safe glass containers with cooking spray or neutral oil.
-
Step 2
Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Let it cool slightly while you make the pancake batter.
-
Step 3
Then, add the oats, baking powder, Kosher salt, eggs, cottage cheese, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Divide the remaining pancake batter equally between the 4 prepared ramekins or containers.
-
Step 4
Transfer the cinnamon swirl mixture to a piping bag or zipper bag with the tip cut off. Pipe swirls over each bowl of pancake batter. (Alternatively, you can drizzle the mixture over the pancake batter.)
-
Step 5
Bake the pancake bowls for 28-32 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let the pancake bowls cool for 5 minutes, and serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar glaze.
Note: To make powdered sugar glaze, combine 2 tablespoons (15 grams) of powdered sugar with 1 teaspoon of ultra-filtered milk. Whisk until smooth, and add more milk, ¼ teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
