High Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Diet: Vegetarian, High-Protein
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low fat or full fat both work)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or butter for the pan
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for about 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no oat bits remain.
- Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. It is important not to use high heat, as these pancakes contain protein that can burn quickly. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Space them out so they are easy to flip. Because the batter is slightly thinner than traditional mix, small pancakes work best.
- Cook the pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Look for small bubbles to form on the surface and the edges to look set. Carefully flip them with a spatula and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the heat and plate them immediately. Repeat the process with any remaining batter.
