The recipe:
Blend oats into a fine flour if not using pre-ground oat flour.
In a blender or mixing bowl, combine oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add ricotta, cottage cheese, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, agave, and lemon juice to the blender. Blend until smooth.
Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and texture to thicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake for standard-sized pancakes or 1-2 tbsp for silver dollar pancakes. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Top with lemon zest, fresh berries, Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
