Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes (20g Protein Per Pancake)
These easy protein cottage cheese pancakes are packed with over 20 grams of protein per serving. Made with just four simple ingredients, they're perfect for meal prep, a healthy breakfast, or a post workout meal.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Oats
- 4 Large Eggs
- 2 Cups Cottage Cheese or bananas
- 4 Scoops Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
- water if too thick
Instructions
- Blend the old-fashioned oats in a blender until they become a fine flour.
- Add the eggs, cottage cheese, and vanilla protein powder to the blender. Blend until smooth. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of water until it reaches a pourable consistency. The amount of water needed may vary depending on the protein powder you use.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil.
- Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a thinner pancake, similar to a crepe.
- Cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm or cold
Notes
- The consistency of the batter can vary depending on the brand of protein powder, so add water as needed.
- These pancakes store well in the refrigerator and reheat beautifully for meal prep.
- Serve with fresh berries, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or nut butter for an extra delicious breakfast.
