Flourless cottage cheese pancakes are a protein-packed, gluten-free breakfast alternative made with cottage cheese, eggs, and oats. They are easy to prepare and customizable with sweet or savory toppings.

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

2 large eggs

1/4 cup rolled oats (optional, for added texture)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, honey or maple syrup (optional), and vanilla extract.
  2. Add the rolled oats, baking powder, and salt to the mixture. Blend until smooth and well combined.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
  4. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
  6. Remove from heat and serve immediately with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
  • For sweeter pancakes, add mashed banana or berries to the batter.
  • For savory pancakes, add chopped spinach, herbs, or cheese.
  • Substitute eggs with flax eggs for a vegan version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat pancakes in toaster, microwave, or skillet.
  • Add protein powder if desired, adjusting liquids as needed.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
