Description
This recipe makes 8 servings of daily and weekly maintenance foods for my daughter with a serving size of 2-3 pancakes depending on how large I make them. The pancake recipe can be adapted to include other grain ingredients or portions.
The pancakes and compote can be stored in the refrigerator for daily consumption or frozen for later use to mix up maintenance foods throughout the week.

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoons melted butter

Instructions
For Pancake Batter:
- Grind first 8 ingredients in food processor (or Ninja).
- Add sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to mix.
- Add milk, eggs, cottage cheese, cooked oats, sunbutter, and melted butter. Pulse until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor.
- Cook pancakes on buttered non-stick (or cast iron) skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds-1 minute per side. They will be fluffy and crepe-like.
buckwheat, millet, quinoa, oat flours make a light and fluffy crepe-style pancake.
To Make the Compote
- Chop fruit (including skins).
- Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add fruit, sugar, and vanilla and stir to combine.
- Cover and simmer on low until fruit is tender (about 15-20 minutes, longer for softer texture).
- Serve 1/8 of mixture on top of pancakes.
Allow compote to cool and then store in the refrigerator in sealed container for up to 1 week, or freeze in ice cube/silicone trays for up to 3 months. The compote is great on yogurt, in smoothies, on waffles, and French toast.
Notes
If adding cocoa powder, add with the dry ingredients.
If adding chocolate chips, stir into batter just before making pancakes.
Pancake recipe can be adapted to other grains/portions.
Compote recipe is great on waffles, French Toast, yogurt, and ice cream or can be blended into a smoothie.
Store extra pancakes in portions on parchment. Cut and stack portions before storing and freezing to avoid sticking and make future prep easier.
