Delicious and nutritious Cottage Cheese Pancakes packed full of protein, slow releasing carbs and with no refined sugar. The perfect healthy breakfast or snack the whole family will love!

There’s something about cottage cheese that kids seem to hate. It’s probably the lumpy texture which makes it so off-putting to children. Which is a shame, as it is relatively low in saturated fat but high in protein.  

Cottage cheese is one ingredient I was sure my kids were never going to eat… That is until I put it into a pancake!

These pancakes are made from blitzing cottage cheese together with eggs and oats to make a really nutritious yet filling breakfast pancake.

They also contain some banana and a touch of vanilla extract for added sweetness and flavour but without any refined sugars.

All of the ingredients are blitzed until completely smooth. This means the lumpiness of the cottage cheese completely disappears. And leaves just a silky smooth batter that’s super easy to fry into pancakes. 

If however you do like a chunky texture, feel free to simply mix the ingredients in a bowl with a spoon!

This pancake batter can also be made the night before and kept in the fridge until morning, making breakfast even quicker and easier! 

I like to serve these pancakes with fresh fruit and some yogurt on the side.

And as you can see by my smiley little boy below, they went down a treat!

    Hi, do you think these would work out OK If I only used egg whites?

    I’m with Emma, would never have thought to use cottage cheese in pancakes but it works really well and nice to know our pancakes are a bit healthier now!
