Cottage Cheese Oat Pancakes (Trader Joe’s copycat, but better!)

The result of these high protein, gluten free pancakes are outstanding. If you added a little lemon juice you wouldn’t know they weren’t lemon ricotta pancakes.

  • Add to a blender and mix until smooth:
    • 300 grams low-fat cottage cheese (I use Trader Joe’s 1.5%)
    • 70 grams rolled oats (gluten free if needed)
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 egg whites (I use liquid egg whites)
    • 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
    • 2 teaspoons sugar or allulose
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

If you let it rest in the fridge for a few hours or overnight you will experience thicker pancakes. Cooked right away they are thin, yet equally delicious.

Cook as you would any other pancakes. Use about 1/4 cup batter per pancake.
