🥞 Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes

High Protein • Gluten-Free • Light & Fluffy

🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 3 tbsp oat flour or ground oats (optional but helps structure — still flourless)

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

  • Pinch of salt

  • Butter or oil for cooking

Optional toppings:
Fresh berries, Greek yogurt, honey, maple syrup, or fruit compote 🍓🍯


👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Blend the batter
    Add cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour (or ground oats), baking powder, vanilla, sweetener, and salt to a blender.
    Blend until smooth and creamy.

  2. Rest the batter
    Let it sit for 5 minutes so the baking powder activates and the pancakes become fluffier.

  3. Heat the pan
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

  4. Cook pancakes
    Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
    Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear and the edges set.

  5. Flip carefully
    Flip gently and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

  6. Serve warm
    Stack them up and top with berries, yogurt, or syrup.
