I know what you’re thinking.
You’re thinking: “Well, this sounds weird”.
You’re thinking: “She’s officially run out of things to talk about.”
You’re thinking: “Can someone please tell her to get a new hobby?”
Well, you might be right about one of those. BUT I will tell you that these pancakes taste just like the real deal, only they’re packed with protein, fiber, and calcium. And the best thing about these fluffy cakes is that they’re great for meal prepping over the weekend and can be heated up every morning for a quick and filling breakfast throughout the week. And as usual, feel free to adapt to fit your pancake needs whether you’re a banana pancake nut or a chocolate chip pancake enthusiast or a connoisseur of powdered sugar.
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 tbsp skim or almond milk
- 6 egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Strawberries, for topping (optional)
- Blueberries, for topping (optional)
- Pure maple syrup (optional, but not really)
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.
- Heat a flat griddle or skillet with a little butter or non-stick cooking spray over medium high heat. Pour out 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle and cook until pancake begins to bubble. Using a spatula, flip over and cook until both sides are lightly browned. Top with fresh fruits and maple syrup. Serve warm.
- For sweet pancakes, add stevia or 1 tbsp sugar to the batter.

Hi Jasmine, I just wanted to let you know that I will be cooking and writing about it this week in my โWordPress Cooking Challengeโ and linking back to your blog for the original recipe!
Jasmine says
That’s so awesome!! I can’t wait to see it ๐
Haylee says
Oh I’m all for weird combinations that work – I had chocolates and cheese on toast the other day. Everyone thought I was mad…until they tried it!
Jasmine says
Haha, I’ll have to try that!! I like combining foods that don’t seem like they would go well together…the results can be really surprising!
Anna says
These sound delicious, and I love a breakfast recipe that you can make ahead for a busy week! ๐ I also totally agree with your comment: “pure maple syrup – optional, but not really) ๐
Jasmine says
Haha, yes!! I mean…you could eat it without, but why would want to?! ๐
Anna says
Exactly! Haha! ๐
Amanda Brooks says
These sounds absolutely amazing! I wish I had a warm stack of these this morning topped with fresh fruit…. and a bit of whipped cream ๐
Jasmine says
Thanks, Amanda!! I wish I did, too – we ate all of ours over the weekend, haha! Ooh, and the whipped cream would be the perfect touch ๐
Amanda Brooks says
That would be my problem too! I would inhale them all at once ๐ But I’m ok with that haha
Jasmine says
Lol, I’m okay with that, too!

I like the instructions for maple syrup ๐ This is such a virtuous way to start the day! Loving the photos, too.
Jasmine says
Thank you so much!! It’s just not pancakes without maple syrup ๐
