Description

These High Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes are the kind of easy breakfast that makes busy mornings feel a little more exciting. They are fluffy, golden, tender, and packed with protein, which makes them perfect for a quick breakfast, healthy snack, brunch idea, or easy recipe to keep on repeat. I love how the cottage cheese adds richness without making the pancakes heavy, while oats keep them hearty and satisfying. Whether you need breakfast ideas for meal prep, food ideas for a cozy weekend, or a simple homemade pancake recipe that actually keeps you full, this one delivers every time.

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

2 large eggs

1 cup rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon butter or oil, for the pan

Instructions

1. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to a blender. Blend until mostly smooth.

2. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the oats can soften slightly.

3. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

4. Pour small rounds of batter onto the skillet, using about 2 to 3 tablespoons for each pancake.

5. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the edges look set and the bottoms are golden brown.

6. Flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the second side is golden and the pancakes are cooked through.

7. Serve warm with berries, butter, Greek yogurt, nut butter, or maple syrup.

Notes

Do not cook these over high heat, or the outside will brown too fast before the center finishes cooking.
