Equipment

High Speed Blender

Ingredients

1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup cottage cheese full fat recommended
2 eggs
pinch sea salt optional
pinch baking soda optional
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

Add the oats to a blender and process until a coarse flour forms.
Add the eggs and cottage cheese. It’s optional, but adding 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt and baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, makes these extra special.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat (lower than a regular pancake). Spray the pan with cooking spray or melt butter in the pan. Add the pancake batter (this recipe makes 1 large pancake or 3 smaller ones). For the best results, cover the pan with a lid while the first side cooks. Large pancakes are difficult to flip if not cooked through well.
Cook the pancake until bubbles start forming around the edges.
Flip the pancake and cook another 2-3 minutes to brown the other side.
Serve pancakes hot. Top with your favorite pancake toppings, like butter and maple syrup, or berries, bananas, chocolate chips or nut butter!

Notes

How to Serve Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Serve these healthier, high-protein pancakes any way you enjoy regular pancakes. My 10-year old doesn’t even know I am making a healthier option!

To Top:

Berries
Bananas
Raspberry Chia Jam or Strawberry Chia Jam
Maple Syrup
Butter
Chocolate SunButter or other nut butter

Variations

Banana Cottage Cheese Pancakes: After making the batter, thinly slice a banana into the batter. Pour it in to the pan and cook as directed in the recipe.

Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes: Add the batter to the skillet, then sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips over the top of the pancake. Cook the pancake as directed.

Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancake: Add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to the pancake batter. If using frozen blueberries, it’s important to cover the skillet with a lid while the first side cooks so the batter cooks evenly.
