๐ฉโ๐ณ Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Blend oats, cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, salt, and optional spices in a blender or shake container. Blend until smooth โ it should be pourable like pancake batter.

Bake the crust alone for 10โ12 minutes until firm and slightly golden.
Add your toppings, then return to the oven for another 5โ7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cool for a minute, then slice and serve hot.
