Description
Fluffy, nutritious pancakes packed with protein from cottage cheese and eggs, perfect for breakfast or post-workout fuel.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup oats
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or butter for frying
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth to create a thick batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or butter, ensuring an easy release for the pancakes.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, until bubbles form on the surface. Then, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like fruits, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Notes
Ensure the cottage cheese is well blended for a smooth batter. Can make substitutions with other cheeses if desired. Pancakes freeze well for meal prep.
