A delicious high protein pancake recipe that combines oats, cottage cheese, eggs, and protein powder to create fluffy and nutritious pancakes perfect for a filling breakfast or post-workout meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp milk or water (to thin batter as needed)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Coconut oil or ghee for cooking

Instructions

  1. Blend ingredients: Add oats, cottage cheese, eggs, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender. Blend until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  2. Rest the batter: Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken slightly. If the batter becomes too thick, add a small splash of milk or water to adjust the consistency.
  3. Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a small amount of coconut oil or ghee to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup portions of the batter into the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  5. Flip pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Repeat cooking: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner.
  7. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as Greek yogurt, nut butter, berries, or protein frosting.

Notes

  • You can substitute rolled oats with oat flour for a smoother texture.
  • If you prefer vegan protein, choose a plant-based protein powder for this recipe.
  • Use coconut oil or ghee for a subtle flavor and non-stick cooking.
  • Resting the batter improves the pancake texture by allowing oats to absorb liquid.
  • Make sure your skillet is not too hot to prevent burning before the inside cooks through.
  • Optional cinnamon adds a warm, spicy note perfect for breakfast pancakes.
