Print Recipe

These fluffy high-protein cottage cheese pancakes are a quick, easy, and healthy breakfast option that combines the moisture and protein of cottage cheese with simple pantry ingredients for a satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (whole, skim, or plant-based)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Blend the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender or food processor until smooth but slightly textured, about 30 seconds. If no blender, whisk vigorously with a fork.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Pour the blended cottage cheese and egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Add vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup (if using), and milk. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add butter or oil and swirl to coat.
  5. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  6. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or syrup.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender. Let batter rest 5 minutes if possible for lighter pancakes. Cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning. Use a thin spatula to flip gently. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) if making a large batch.
