Delicious and protein-packed cottage cheese pancakes made with wholesome oats and cottage cheese, offering a nutritious twist on classic pancakes perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (4% or 2% fat)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oats: Add the oats to a blender or food processor and pulse 4 times to break them down.
  2. Combine ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, vanilla extract, eggs, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the blender. Blend until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
  3. Heat skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-low heat and grease it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook pancakes: Drop the batter by 2-tablespoon scoops onto the heated skillet. Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles start to pop on the surface.
  5. Flip pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm, topped with your favorite pancake toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or yogurt.

Notes

  • You can use either 4% or 2% fat cottage cheese based on preference.
  • Ensure the skillet is at medium-low heat to avoid burning the pancakes.
  • For a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free oats.
  • These pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated.
  • Add-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips can be added before cooking for extra flavor.
