No Flour Protein Packed Pancake Recipe
This recipe I recently received from a special former choir student I had when I taught high school choir 12 years ago! I like to call her “Fancy Nancy”. It’s been so good to catch up with her! Thanks, Fancy Nancy for the recipe!!
I have a hard time with milk products except for ice cream and cheese:). I never consume straight milk unless it’s in cereal or a recipe. I have had to acquire a taste for yogurt in my adult years. Cottage cheese is hard for me, and I’ll eat it in lasagne, but I prefer ricotta cheese. I thought I would give this a shot, especially for my protein-yearning husband. This pancake packs a series protein punch!
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup oatmeal (certified gluten free if needed)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla
- optional, 1 tsp flaxseed
- optional, 3 T TriMix (1 T Wheat Germ, 1 T Wheat Bran, 1 T Oat Bran)
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients (in blender) until the batter is smooth.
- Grease griddle.
- Warm griddle to medium heat.
- Pour 1/3 cup of the batter for each pancake.
- Flip pancakes when they bubble.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. We love butter, real maple syrup and jam.
The Verdict:
The blended batter was so smooth. I was really impressed! I couldn’t even tell there was cottage cheese in it because it was blended. I would double the batch next time, especially since a 16 oz. container of cottage cheese is two cups. I will definitely make this again! JSarr agreed that we can make this our go-to recipe for pancakes now.

Hey S,
Did you use steel cut oats or the regular oats? I may need to give this a try
Thanks for sharing!
Regular old-fashioned oats! Easy!!
You’ve been featured in this week’s Breakfast Ideas Mondays! Hope to see you back again soon! http://www.yummyinspirations.net/2012/04/breakfast-ideas-mondays-2.html
Thanks so much!! I’ll be back!
I call myself a protein pancake enthusiast. It’s on my favorites
Love this!
I saw this post on Slightly Indulgent.
This is great! I am the same way about milk and yogurt. I can’t do either of them. This sounds like the perfect way to get a super healthy breakfast in!
I make crazy easy no flour “pancakes” as well! Mine include egg whites, roasted butternut squash, cinnamon & stevia! That’s is, so delicious!
Your mix sounds great too!!
What a great idea! Thanks for the idea!
I have been looking for more ways to add protein into my diet so I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
What a simple recipe and so healthy, I have never thought about using cottage cheese in pancakes!
And thank you so much for linking up with Healthy 2day Wednesdays as always! Hope you have a blessed week and hope you’ll be linking up this week!
I love the idea of these protein pancakes, but not the cottage cheese. We hardly ever eat/have that on hand. What would make a good substitute? Thanks!
Tomorrow morning I will try substituting almond milk since I just found out I have to go dairy free:(. I will let you know. If you can do dairy, I would try sour cream, maybe buttermilk. I would work with the ratios of the oats if the batter was too thin.
