- 220 g cottage cheese about 1 cup high in protein
- 2 tablespoon milk for smoothness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds flavor
- 1 large egg binds the ingredients together
- ½ teaspoon baking soda helps fluff the pancakes
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoon ground oats acts as the flour replacement
Use an immersion blender to blend the cottage cheese in a bowl until completely smooth.
Stir in the baking soda with a fork, then add vanilla extract, egg, and ground oats. Pour in a bit of milk and blend again until smooth.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, spreading it into a pancake shape. Once bubbles appear and the edges set, carefully flip the pancake.
Cook the second side for about 2 minutes, then remove the pancake from the pan.
Serve the pancakes while still warm with a dollop of butter, maple syrup (or honey), and fresh berries.
These pancakes are a great way to start the day with a protein boost. You can easily turn them into a dessert by adding a little extra sweetness!
