Print Recipe

Light, tender, and protein-packed pancakes made with cottage cheese and protein powder, perfect for a nourishing breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (50g) protein powder, vanilla or unflavored
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats or oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) milk (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or sweetener (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add protein powder, oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener (if using) to the blender. Pulse a few times to combine without over-blending.
  3. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow oats to absorb moisture and baking powder to activate.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  6. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F/95°C) while cooking the rest.
  8. Serve warm with toppings like fresh berries, yogurt, honey, or nut butter.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too runny, add more oat flour or protein powder. Let batter rest for fluffier pancakes. Use medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Batter can be made ahead and stored in fridge overnight.
