Cottage Cheese Pancakes With Oats
Cottage cheese pancakes are a nutritious twist on the classic pancake, offering a delightful combination of protein-rich cottage cheese and wholesome ingredients. The addition of cottage cheese to the pancake batter not only boosts its protein content but also provides a creamy texture and a subtle tangy flavor. These pancakes are made with oats, adding fiber and important nutrients. With less refined sugar compared to traditional pancake recipes, cottage cheese pancakes offer a healthier option for breakfast or brunch, promoting a sense of fullness and sustained energy throughout the day.
When it comes to toppings for cottage cheese pancakes, the possibilities are both delicious and nutritious. Fresh berries, such as blueberries or strawberries, add a burst of antioxidants and natural sweetness. Sliced bananas and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup provide a classic yet wholesome combination. For an extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, on top. Greek yogurt or a dollop of low-fat whipped cream can also enhance the texture and flavor. The versatility of cottage cheese pancakes allows you to customize toppings based on your taste preferences while maintaining a balance of flavors and nutritional benefits.

How To Make Cottage Cheese Pancakes
For this recipe, you’ll need either a griddle or frying pan, and a blender or food processor.
Preheat griddle to 375 degrees or heat a frying pan to medium high heat.
Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of avocado oil on the griddle. You could also use olive oil or vegetable oil instead. With a pastry brush, coat the griddle surface in an even layer of oil.
Add to a blender: 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and an 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Blend ingredients for about 30 seconds or until you have a smooth batter.
Pour pancake batter onto the hot griddle. You should have enough batter for about 8 pancakes. If there is any left, add a little bit of batter to any smaller pancakes to make them all as evenly sized as possible.
Cook for about 3 minutes, then carefully flip the pancakes over. Cook pancakes for another 2 minutes or until they are golden brown on both sides.
Use a spatula to move the pancakes from the griddle to a serving plate.
Cooking Tips
- You may need to shake the blender bottle midway through blending, to catch any ingredients stuck to the top of the bottle
- A good clue that the pancakes are ready to be flipped for the first time is seeing tiny bubbles on the surface of the batter
- Try topping pancakes with maple syrup or berries for extra flavor
