Steps
- Put the oats in a blender and blend until they become a fine flour.
- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, vanilla and brown sugar to the blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt to the blender and pulse just until the cocoa is fully mixed in. Let the batter rest 5 minutes to thicken.
- Meanwhile, toast the pecans in a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant, then move them to a plate.
- Stir the maple syrup into the Greek yogurt in a small bowl to make the topping.
- Brush the skillet with one third of the canola oil and heat over medium-low.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges look set, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more until the centers spring back and reach 160°F (71°C).
- Cook the remaining batter in two more batches, brushing the skillet with another third of the canola oil before each batch.
- Serve the pancakes topped with the maple yogurt, the raspberries and the toasted pecans.
