You will love these High Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes! They are incredibly fluffy, and I promise you will not taste the cottage cheese. This recipe brings a delicious, protein-packed start to your day, reminding us of simple, perfect moments.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for slight sweetness)
  • Cooking spray or butter for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. You want no lumps remaining.
  2. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using) to the blender. Pulse until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter will be thick.
  3. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or butter.
  4. Drop batter by 1/4 cup scoops onto the hot griddle, spacing them apart.
  5. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. You will see bubbles form on the surface, and the edges will look set before you flip.
  6. Flip carefully and cook the second side until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest result, make sure your cottage cheese is fully blended until it resembles a smooth ricotta.
  • Use medium-low heat. Too high, and the outside burns before the inside cooks through.
  • These are great topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.
