Cottage Cheese Pancakes
These Cottage Cheese Pancakes are soft, fluffy, and naturally high in protein, made using simple ingredients like oat flour, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl. Add the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the bowl and stir until a thick pancake batter forms.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease if needed. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and gently spread if necessary.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
- Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes
- Blend Until Smooth: Blending the cottage cheese with the maple syrup and vanilla helps create a smooth batter and prevents pockets of cottage cheese in the pancakes.
- Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes helps the oat flour absorb moisture, resulting in thicker pancakes that cook evenly.
- Use Medium Heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat prevents the outsides from browning too quickly while the centers finish cooking.
- Flip Carefully: Wait until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set before flipping to keep the pancakes from tearing.
- Serve Right Away: These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet, when they are soft, fluffy, and warm.
