Oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes are the heartiest, most satisfying cottage cheese pancake variation you'll find. By combining rolled oats with creamy cottage cheese, you get pancakes with wonderful texture — slightly chewy from the oats with a tender, moist crumb from the cottage cheese. Each serving packs 24g of protein and 5g of fiber, keeping you full and energized all morning long. This cottage cheese pancake recipe is perfect for anyone who loves the wholesome flavor of oatmeal but wants something more exciting than a bowl of porridge. The rolled oats blend right into the batter, adding complex carbohydrates and fiber while the cottage cheese brings the protein. These oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes have a rustic, homestyle quality that pairs beautifully with warm cinnamon, a drizzle of honey, and fresh sliced banana. They're also incredibly budget-friendly and use pantry staples you probably already have on hand. Make a double batch for easy meal prep — they store well in the fridge for 4 days or freezer for 3 months. If you're looking for cottage cheese recipes that are filling, nutritious, and genuinely delicious, these oatmeal pancakes check every box.

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Add cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats, vanilla, and honey to a blender. Blend for 45 seconds until oats are broken down and batter is smooth.

2

Add baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse 2-3 times to combine.

3

Let batter rest for 3 minutes to allow oats to absorb moisture and thicken.

4

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook 60ml portions for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.

5

Serve topped with sliced banana, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My cottage cheese recipes are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
