Print Recipe

These protein-packed pancakes are fluffy, nutritious, and topped with fresh berries for a healthy and delicious breakfast option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup egg whites (about 4 egg whites)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • Cooking spray or a little oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Place the oats, cottage cheese, egg whites, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and milk in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
  3. Pour batter onto the skillet to form small pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  4. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve warm topped with fresh mixed berries. Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese if preferred.
  • Use any type of protein powder – whey or plant-based both work well.
  • These pancakes can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
