Today’s recipe is one of my long time favourites: Cottage Cheese Pancakes (I call them Protein Pancakes because I omit the cottage cheese;)! This was one of the first recipes I ever tried from The Eat Clean Diet and it never gets old! I actually posted this exact recipe sometime last year but it’s so good that I wanted to share it again.
COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES
PREP: 10 minutes |COOK: 12 minutes| YIELD: 12 pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (I use oat flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp maple sugar flakes (I use Xylitol)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 8 egg whites
- 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese (I omitted this and doubled the yogurt instead!
- 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt (I used Greek)
Directions:
- Combine first five ingredients in a medium bowl. Make a well in the centre.
- Combine eggs, cottage cheese and yogurt in a small bowl. Pour into well. Stir until just moistened.
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle or prepare a skillet with cooking spray. Heat should be medium high. Use 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until lightly browned on both sides. Keep warm in oven until all the batter has been used up.
- Serve with fruit.

I love cottage cheese, this recipe is awesome.
You NEED to try them!!
I always make those pancakes! Love them!!! Good choice
How is cross fit going?
Aren’t they amazing??? CrossFit is going well!! It’s challenging but loads of fun! I will probably scale down to 3x a week now that I’m training for Scotia
How many servings do you think this recipe made for you?
It makes 12 pancakes so it depends on how many you eat. I usually have three so it would make four servings for me!
Dumb question but where can I find maple sugar flakes? This sounds delicious!
NOT a dumb question!! I was able to find the maple sugar flakes at a health food store. They’re not easy to find (here, at least) so most of the time I will just use another sweetener. The flakes definitely take them to another level though. Maple goodness!
These look awesome! have you ever tries to sub some of the flour or protein powder or peanut flour? I wonder if it would work without messing up what looks to be a great fluffy texture.
Ooh man those pancakes are droolworthy! I wonder if you could make them with coconut flour….I’ll have to do some experimenting!
This recipe sounds great! How many pancakes are in 1 serving?
I love that it’s not a lot of ingredients for a homemade pancake. I also love that it has the extra protein content! A lot of times I’ll make pancakes and they aren’t all that filling because there isn’t much protein involved. I usually add eggs to my mix but cottage cheese is a great addition.
love this! I’ve been making lots of pancakes lately so I’ll try this one tomorrow. ALSO – Thanks for putting the sugars
I’m freaking obsessed with these. You should totally try these WITH the cottage cheese– I also hate it but you can’t even taste it!
Love cottage cheese in pancakes! You don’t do it b/c of the dairy? Those look delicious, cottage cheese or not
