Ingredients
Scale
Protein Pancakes
- 12 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
- 3 cups quick cook oats
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For Serving (optional)
- Butter
- Syrup
Instructions
- Blend ingredients: Add the eggs, low-fat cottage cheese, quick cook oats, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon into a blender. Blend the mixture for about 30 seconds until it is smooth and well combined.
- Adjust batter consistency: If the batter feels too thick, add a little milk gradually to reach your preferred consistency. Keep in mind, the batter will thicken slightly as it sits, so thinner batter will yield thinner pancakes.
- Preheat griddle: Heat a pancake griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or melt some butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour ladlefuls of batter onto the hot griddle. When bubbles appear on the top surface of the pancakes, carefully flip them over and cook for an additional one to two minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep them moist.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with optional butter and syrup or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For thinner pancakes, thin the batter with milk before cooking.
- Use quick cook oats for a smoother batter; steel-cut or whole oats will change texture and cooking time.
- Cooking on medium-high heat ensures the pancakes cook through without burning.
- These pancakes freeze well—cool completely before freezing and reheat in a toaster or microwave.
- Customize toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or Greek yogurt for added nutrition and flavor.
