Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes


  • Author: chef-caterina
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 pancakes (serves 2-3) 1x
  • Diet: Gluten-Free

Description

A delicious and nutritious twist on traditional pancakes, made without flour and packed with protein.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Blend the Ingredients: In a powerful blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth—about 30 seconds to a minute.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a teaspoon of butter or oil and swirl to coat the surface.
  3. Pour the Batter: Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes, roughly 3 inches in diameter.
  4. Cook to Perfection: Cook until the surface starts to bubble, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, around another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Serve: Stack on a plate and add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

These pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. You can also customize the recipe with fruits or chocolate chips.
