Print Recipe

These fluffy protein pancakes combine creamy cottage cheese with oats and eggs for a light, protein-packed breakfast perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1–2 tbsp sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or sugar substitute, optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base (5 minutes): Add rolled oats to a blender and pulse until fine flour-like texture. Add cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Blend until smooth and thick but pourable. Add more milk if too thick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients (2 minutes): In a separate bowl, whisk baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon.
  3. Combine and Rest (5 minutes): Pour dry mix into blended batter and stir gently to combine. Let batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate oats.
  4. Heat the Pan (2 minutes): Preheat non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
  5. Cook the Pancakes (15 minutes): Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto pan. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  6. Serve Warm: Stack pancakes immediately or keep warm in a low oven (200°F/93°C) while finishing the batch.

Notes

Blend oats into flour for smooth batter. Rest batter for fluffiness. Use fresh baking powder. Flip pancakes only once. Adjust milk for batter consistency. Can add protein powder or mix-ins like berries or cocoa powder.
