Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese - I recommend full-fat)

    (220 grams

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup rolled oats)

    (100 grams

  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1

    Blend ingredients to make the batter. Add all ingredients to a blender in the order listed and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Make sure not to over-blend. Let sit for 5 minutes. It should be pretty thick.

  2. 2

    Cook. Heat up a large nonstick skillet or griddle over low to medium heat. Once hot, add cooking fat and let it warm up. Using a 1/4 cup as a scoop, form into equal size pancakes. I get about 8 (you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your pan). Cook for 3-4 minutes until small bubbles start to form on the outside and the sides start to fluff up (there won't be a lot of bubbles though). Flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Enjoy! Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Customization & Variations

This versatile recipe welcomes your personal touch. Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and vanilla extract to suit your taste, or even experiment with a different extract like almond or a touch of nutmeg for a unique twist. For an added burst of freshness and nutrition, consider gently folding in a handful of your favorite fresh berries, such as blueberries or sliced strawberries, into the batter just before cooking. You could also stir in a spoonful of lemon zest for a bright, citrusy note.

These high-protein pancakes are ideal for making any morning feel special, serving as a quick and nutritious post-workout refuel, or even as a satisfying afternoon snack. Serve them simply with a light drizzle of maple syrup, a spoonful of your favorite fruit compote, or a dollop of Greek yogurt with fresh fruit for an extra special treat.
