These fluffy protein pancakes are made without any protein powder, using simple ingredients like eggs, oats, and cottage cheese for a wholesome, satisfying breakfast that keeps you full until lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) small-curd cottage cheese, creamy
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
  • 1 ripe banana (about 100 g), mashed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or coconut oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, banana, rolled oats, vanilla extract (optional), ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
  2. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb moisture.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter or a teaspoon of coconut oil. Let it melt and coat the surface evenly.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  5. Flip gently with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  7. Serve immediately with toppings like fresh fruit, maple syrup, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and banana for smooth blending. If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk. Flip pancakes gently after edges are set to avoid breaking. Batter can be prepared the night before and refrigerated. For gluten-free, use almond or gluten-free oat flour. For dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese with thick coconut yogurt but expect different texture.
