How to Make Cottage Cheese Oat Pancakes (Step-by-Step)
This cottage cheese pancakes recipe is super easy to make and comes together in no time:
- Add All Ingredients to the Blender:
Combine your oats, cottage cheese, and eggs in a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth. If your pancake batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk or water.
- Let the Batter Rest:
Give the batter a few minutes to thicken up. This allows the oats to soak and helps create a fluffy pancake texture. - Heat Your Skillet or Griddle:
Warm a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of butter or oil. - Cook the Pancakes:
Scoop out ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the pancakes look set and are golden on the bottom. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes. - Repeat:
Continue until all your batter is used, adding more butter or oil between batches as needed.
This recipe makes about 5–6 small pancakes or 2 large pancakes.

How to Make Pancakes Even Fluffier
To get fluffier pancakes, keep these tips in mind:
- Use quick oats or old-fashioned oats—avoid steel-cut oats, as they won’t blend smoothly.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer flavor, or low fat cottage cheese for a lighter option.
- Let your batter rest for at least 3–5 minutes before cooking to help the oats absorb liquid.
- Keep your heat at medium—this ensures the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
Best Toppings for Cottage Cheese Oat Pancakes
These pancakes pair beautifully with both sweet and savory toppings. Here are some favorites:
- Fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup
- Sliced bananas and nut butter
- A dollop of Greek yogurt and honey
- Crushed nuts or seeds for crunch
- Dark chocolate chips for a treat
Feel free to get creative—these healthy pancakes are super versatile.
Storing & Reheating Leftover Pancakes
One of the best things about these protein pancakes is how well they store:
- Store your leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze for up to 3 months: lay pancakes between sheets of parchment paper and pop them in a freezer-safe bag.
- Reheat in a toaster, toaster oven, or microwave until warm.
They make a great grab-and-go breakfast when you’re short on time.
Fun Variations to Try
Mix things up with these easy add-ins and swaps:
- Add mashed ripe banana to the pancake batter for a natural sweetness.
- Stir in a tablespoon of almond flour or whole wheat flour for added texture.
- Mix in blueberries or dark chocolate chips right before cooking.
- Boost the protein with a scoop of protein powder.
- Make mini pancakes and enjoy them as snacks!
