Deliciously soft and fluffy cottage cheese pancakes packed with protein, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch. Made with simple ingredients and easy to blend, these pancakes offer a quick way to start your day with wholesome nutrition and great flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 eggs
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk


Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Put all ingredients into a blender and blend at high speed for 1 minute until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  2. Heat the griddle: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook pancakes: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the hot greased griddle for each pancake.
  4. Flip pancakes: When bubbles form on top of the pancakes and the edges begin to set, carefully flip them over.
  5. Finish cooking: Cook the second side until golden brown, ensuring the pancakes are cooked through and fluffy.
  6. Serve and store: Enjoy the pancakes immediately while warm. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days or freeze in Ziploc bags for quick mornings.

Notes

  • These pancakes are soft and fluffy, yet packed with 16 g of protein per serving to keep you full all morning.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, try using plant-based milk and vegan cottage cheese alternatives.
  • Adjust sugar amount to taste or omit if you prefer less sweetness.
  • Make sure the griddle isn’t too hot to prevent burning before the center cooks through.
