These 10-Minute Cottage Cheese Pancakes are a high-protein, quick, and healthy breakfast option made with oats, cottage cheese, and egg whites. Flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, they offer a delicious and nutritious start to your day, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: Place rolled oats, cottage cheese, liquid egg whites, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract into a blender.
  2. Blend batter: Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds. Stop briefly to scrape down the sides if needed to achieve a smooth, pancake batter-like consistency.
  3. Preheat pan: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook pancakes: Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated pan for each pancake. Cook without crowding the pan for about 3 minutes or until the edges begin to bubble. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Serve: Top the pancakes with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup, or spread with your favorite nut butter for added flavor.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, do not overblend the batter; some texture from oats is desirable.
  • You can substitute liquid egg whites with whole eggs if preferred, but this will increase fat and cholesterol content.
  • Using a non-stick pan and cooking spray helps prevent sticking without added fat.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor, or keep warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
  • Optional add-ins include chopped nuts or a scoop of protein powder for extra protein boost.
