Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour (about 90g)
  • 1/2 cup whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, about 60g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese, small curd, drained (about 170g)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (120ml or 1/2 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional for serving: fresh berries or sliced banana
  • Optional for serving: Greek yogurt or nut butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup oat flour, 1/2 cup whey protein powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine 3/4 cup cottage cheese, 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (if using), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. If batter is too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
  4. Preheat your skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Keep warm and serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while finishing the rest. Serve topped with fresh fruit, yogurt, or nut butter if desired.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to improve texture. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Preheat pan properly and oil lightly to prevent sticking. Test one pancake first to adjust batter thickness if needed.
