Follow this recipe for Cottage Cheese Pancakes that are springy, light, fluffy and gluten free

These pancakes keep their springy quality with the help of the eggs. (You’ll also notice that the pancakes in my photos are yellow; I used a really good egg with a rich yolk to give it that hint of color.) But the springiness also comes from whizzing the mixture together in your blender (or stick blender), whichs adds a bit of air to the batter.

Quick tips for making oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes

I can’t end this without giving you a few tips and notes on making this pancake recipe:

  1. You may notice the batter thickens as you get to the end of the batch (this all depends on how long it takes you to cook them). That’s because the oats soak in some of the liquid, so you shouldn’t need to worry. But if you prefer, you can add a teaspoon of milk or water to loose up the batter if it becomes too thick.
  2. Give the batter a quick spread with the back of the spoon if it becomes too thick on the pan when you drop the batter on.
  3. Flip the pancake when the top has several bubbles and starts to look dry and shiny, and the bottom is a golden brown color.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask below. Hope you enjoy!

A healthy and delicious recipe for Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancakes. These simple cottage cheese pancakes are fluffy and light, and the perfect breakfast for the entire family. The recipe contains oatmeal, cottage cheese, and eggs for a protein rich and filling breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1/2 cup quick cook oatmeal (use gluten free oats for gf)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon oil (use a neutral oil such as sunflower, canola, or rice bran oil)
  • 1 pinch salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively, add everything into a bowl and use an immersion blender and blend until smooth. If you do not have a blender you can mix it by hand, however the pancakes will not be smooth. 
  • Lightly coat a large non-stick skillet or griddle with a bit of oil, then heat over medium to medium-high heat. Working in batches, spoon about 2 tablespoons of pancake batter onto the pan for each pancake. Gently and lightly use the back of the spoon to guide the pancake batter so it spreads out into a 3-inch diameter round. Make sure to leave room between pancakes so you can easily flip the pancakes.
  • Cook on one side, until the top begins to look set with some bubbles, and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes, and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 more minutes. 
  • Transfer to plates, top with desired toppings, and serve. 

Notes

These simple cottage cheese pancakes can be served plain, sweet or savory.
Sweet topping suggestions: berries and maple syrup, yogurt and nuts

    These turned out great. Even the gluten free weary people in my family liked it. I took others tips and added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp vanilla and omitted the oil.Thank-you for the healthy recipe.

      They freeze well. I make a lot at once and freeze them. When I need a quick breakfast before work, I pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

    This is one of our favorite breakfasts! Takes two or three batches to feed an active couple. I usually don’t like pancakes because they tend to have a hard time going down my chest, but these make me feel good. I top them with homemade whipped cream and fruit sauce (made by simply heating any fruit, our favorite is raspberries, on the stove with a little sugar or honey). Delicious!
