Cottage Cheese Pancakes Recipe

No ratings yet
This high protein pancakes recipe is ideal for those who love a stack of flapjacks but also prioritize their daily intake of protein. Made with whole grain oats instead of flour for slower burning energy!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Optional Additions:

  • 1/4 cup (42g) chocolate chips
  • cup (30g) chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  • Transfer the oats to a high-powered blender and blend on a low speed for 60-90 seconds, or until a flour forms.
  • Add the remaining ingredients for the pancakes to the blender and blend until smooth. If the pancake batter seems too thick, add a little additional milk (or water). If the batter seems too thin, allow the pancake batter to sit for 10 minutes, as it will thicken.
  • Add cooking oil to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Allow the skillet to warm up for a few minutes.
  • Measure out a scant ⅓ cup of batter and pour it onto the hot skillet. My 12-inch skillet accommodates 3 pancakes at a time. Let the batter cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pancakes are cooked through and are golden brown on both sides. If at any point the batter browns up too quickly, reduce the heat to medium heat.
  • Repeat for the remaining batter. This recipe makes 10 small pancakes.
  • Serve pancakes with your favorite toppings. I like eating them with butter, a dollop of Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, and a drizzle of honey. Almond butter, peanut butter, or more cottage cheese is a great option too!
