Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancake

From the array of recipes I post you guys probably assume there is nothing I can't cook - not true. I have my Achilles's Heels - one of which has always been pancakes. They are either too greasy or burned or tough as shoe leather. As such I didn't really realize I missed pancakes until I saw BTV Danielle's recipe for oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes. Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone... I HAD to jack it up a little bit. But the most important part of this recipe is that turned out beautifully, is simple to cook and TASTE LIKE REALLY GOOD PANCAKES!
