Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Optional Toppings

  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries
  • Banana slices
  • Greek yogurt
  • Honey
  • Chopped nuts
  • Peanut butter
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Batter

Place the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla, honey, salt, and cinnamon into a blender. Blend until completely smooth.

Step 2: Rest the Batter

Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes so the oats can absorb moisture and thicken naturally.

Step 3: Heat the Pan

Warm a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking oil.

Step 4: Cook

Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.

Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear.

Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Repeat until all batter is used.

Method

  • Blend instead of mixing by hand for a silky batter.
  • Cook over medium-low heat for fluffy pancakes.
  • Don’t flip too early.
  • Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.

History

Protein pancakes became popular as healthier breakfast alternatives during the last decade. Cottage cheese has long been used in European and North American cooking because of its high protein and creamy texture.
