Ingredients

  • 200 g Cottage cheese
  • 2 Eggs
  • 60 g Rolled oats
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Blend batter

    Add cottage cheese, eggs, oats, baking powder, and vanilla to a blender. Blend until smooth (30 seconds). Let rest 2 minutes.

  2. 2
    Cook pancakes

    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a touch of butter. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, flip, cook 1-2 minutes more.

  3. 3
    Serve

    Stack and top with fresh berries, maple syrup, or Greek yogurt. These are best served fresh and warm.

Notes

  • Blend until completely smooth — any cottage cheese lumps will affect the texture.
  • Medium heat is crucial — too high and the outside burns before the inside sets.
  • Let the batter rest 2 minutes after blending for fluffier pancakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why add cottage cheese to pancakes?

Cottage cheese adds 24g protein per serving without making pancakes heavy. It also creates an incredibly fluffy, almost soufflé-like texture when blended.

Do cottage cheese pancakes taste different?

They are slightly tangier and fluffier than regular pancakes. Most people prefer them once they try them — the texture is incredibly light and airy.

Can I make the batter the night before?

Yes. Refrigerate the blended batter overnight. In the morning, give it a stir — the batter may have thickened, so add a splash of milk if needed.
