High Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes
These pancakes are a healthy and protein-packed alternative to traditional pancakes, providing a creamy texture and delicious flavor.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese Choose full-fat or low-fat based on your preference.
- 1 cup oats Rolled oats work best; quick oats can create a different texture.
- 4 large eggs For a vegan option, substitute with flax eggs.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder Make sure it's fresh for the best fluffiness.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for richer flavor.
- 1 pinch salt Balances the sweetness.
- Butter or oil for cooking Coconut oil is preferred, but any cooking oil can be used.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it with butter or oil.
Cooking
- Pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of desired size. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Serving
- Serve hot with syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
Notes
For better blending, ensure that cottage cheese and eggs are at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
