High-Protein Pancakes Recipe :
Fluffy, satisfying, and made without protein powder — perfect for breakfast or post-workout fuel.
Ingredients :
1 cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1/3 cup oat flour (or blended oats)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or a few drops of stevia for sweetness
Toppings:
Fresh strawberries and blueberries
Sugar-free syrup or honey
Greek yogurt or almond butter (optional)
Instructions:
Blend the Batter:
In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon until smooth. Let the batter rest for 3–5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Preheat the Pan:
Lightly grease a non-stick skillet and heat over medium heat.
Cook the Pancakes:
Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side or until bubbles form and edges are set. Flip gently and cook until golden brown.
Serve Warm:
Top with fresh berries and your choice of syrup or nut butter.
Tips:
Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder if you want to boost protein further.
For a banana version, blend in 1/2 ripe banana and reduce oat flour slightly.
These freeze well — make extra and reheat during the week.
