# How-To Steps:

01 - In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.
02 - Add rolled oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar if using to the blender. Blend until just combined and smooth, being careful not to overmix.
03 - Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter by hand until evenly distributed.
04 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
05 - Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
06 - Flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
07 - Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with additional berries, yogurt, or maple syrup if desired.
