Tips to Make These Cottage Cheese Pancakes:
- Blending for Smoothness: Make sure to blend the batter until it’s completely smooth. This will give you a uniform texture and ensure that the oats are fully incorporated.
- Heat Control: Cook the pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning them. Cooking them slowly will help them cook through evenly without getting too dark on the outside.
- Custom Toppings: Feel free to experiment with toppings. If you prefer something sweeter, try adding a drizzle of honey or a dollop of Greek yoghurt. For a savoury twist, smoked bacon works beautifully.
- Make-Ahead: You can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge overnight. Just give it a quick stir before cooking the pancakes the next morning.

minutesIngredients
300g cottage cheese
200g oats
100g sugar
2 eggs
250 ml plant-based milk
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: 180g Smoked Bacon and maple syrup. (fresh fruit and honey would work great too).
Directions
- Prepare the Batter:
- Add the cottage cheese, oats, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, pour a small amount of batter into the pan to form pancakes.
Cook each pancake for about 3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through. - Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favourite toppings. I recommend smoked bacon and maple syrup for a savoury-sweet combination, but fresh fruit and honey are equally delicious.
