Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes
One of 2025’s biggest breakfast trends, these cottage cheese pancakes blend into a fluffy, high-protein batter that rivals traditional stacks. The cottage cheese melts into tender curds while the oats add slow-burning fiber, keeping you full well past noon.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
- 1/3 cup mixed berries (optional)
- Olive oil spray for the pan
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, vanilla, and cinnamon in a blender until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Rest the batter for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb moisture and thicken.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and mist with olive oil spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter to form pancakes.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges set.
- Flip carefully and cook another 2 minutes until golden.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with berries.
- Drizzle with honey and serve warm.
