Fluffy High Protein Pancakes

A protein packed breakfast is key to starting the day off right. These fluffy high protein pancakes are filled with delicious and nutritious whole-food ingredients that will keep you full and satiated for the morning ahead.

These pancakes are very simple to make and require just a few ingredients that you more than likely already have in your fridge and pantry:

• Rolled oats
• Salt
• Cinnamon
• Baking powder
• Eggs
• Cottage cheese
• Milk
• Vanilla
• Coconut oil or butter

These fluffy high protein pancakes are delicious with a warm berry sauce on top and paired with extra crispy bacon. Even better, they take less than ten minutes to make since you can simply add all of the ingredients into the blender and have perfectly fluffy pancakes only minutes later. Pancakes for breakfast has finally become a reality for any day of the week and not just for Saturday mornings!

Lately we have really been enjoying these One Degree Organic Rolled Oats from Costco. I love that they’re a glyphosate-free option at a great cost. Better yet, they’re also gluten-free and organic! A great, readily available option for most. I used organic cane sugar in this recipe, but if you wanted to sub for honey you could definitely do that.

These pancakes already have a fair amount of protein in them, but if you wanted to add an extra protein punch, you could add a scoop of protein powder to them. Just be aware that you may need to add a little more milk to the batter if you decide to do so.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsps baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 tbsp cane sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method

 

1. Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk until you've reached your desired consistency.
2. Warm coconut oil or butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Spoon the batter, using about 1/4 cup per pancake, onto the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, until the pancakes start to bubble. Flip them over and cook for another three minutes or so. Repeat to make more pancakes, adding oil to the skillet as needed.
3. Top the pancakes with maple syrup, berry sauce, or your favorite toppings and serve.
