Fluffy High-Protein Oat Pancakes
These Fluffy High-Protein Oat Pancakes are made in a blender with rolled oats, cottage cheese, and eggs for a healthy flourless breakfast. Soft, filling, and packed with protein and fiber.
Method
- Place the oats in a blender and pulse a few times until they form a rough flour.
- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt directly into the blender.
- Blend on high until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 3 minutes to thicken.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and coat lightly with butter or coconut oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
- Flip gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Stack high, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with fresh berries.

Chef notes
Letting the batter rest is vital. The oats need time to absorb the moisture, resulting in a thicker batter and fluffier pancakes.
Substitutions
- Cottage Cheese: Greek yogurt works perfectly — Eggs: 2 chia eggs can make this vegan | Oats: Quinoa flakes work too.

Why it works
Using a blender pulverizes the oats into flour and whips air into the cottage cheese and eggs, eliminating the curds and creating an ultra-fluffy texture.
Frequently asked questions
