Ingredients

  • 8 fresh figs, chopped
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup oatmeal (rolled oats)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp honey or sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Blend the oatmeal in a food processor or blender until it becomes a fine flour.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oatmeal flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, honey (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped figs.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Keep warm until ready to serve.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and honey (or sugar). Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  7. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat. Let cool slightly before serving.
  9. Stack 2-3 pancakes on each plate.
  10. Generously spoon the blueberry compote over the pancakes.
  11. Add a dollop of cottage cheese or a few fresh fig slices on top for extra flair.

These fig and cottage cheese pancakes with blueberry compote are a perfect blend of flavors and textures. This recipe not only satisfies your sweet tooth but also provides a healthy start to your day. Enjoy!
