Method

1. Separate the eggs. Blend the cottage cheese, oats, yolks, baking powder, vanilla and cinnamon smooth and rest 5 minutes. Whip the whites to soft peaks and fold them through in two goes, keeping the air in.
2. Cook spoonfuls in a pan brushed with the oil, over medium-low heat under a lid, dropping cherries onto each. Flip after 3 minutes and give them 2 more, until risen and golden.
3. Warm the rest of the cherries with the maple syrup for a minute and spoon them over.
