This post was created in partnership with Shamrock Farms. As always, all opinions are my own.
We don’t have a set diet that we follow, but one thing that we have been trying to do is to add more protein where we can.
These cottage cheese pancakes are an easy way to add a little extra protein to our morning. They’re made with oats, eggs, and cottage cheese, so they are full of good-for-you ingredients.
I use Shamrock Farms cottage cheese for these pancakes. Every Shamrock Farms product begins with pure, wholesome, nutritious milk with no added growth hormones.

What do cottage cheese pancakes taste like?
Ultimately, though it doesn’t much how much good stuff is in food if no one wants to eat it. These pancakes are light and fluffy, and they taste like French toast (with the addition of some syrup)! They smell amazing, and they taste just as good.

Making for the first time. Has anyone added a ripe banana?
Kate says
Hi! I haven’t, but maybe someone else has.

These are terrific! I had my doubts but once I tasted them I was hooked. They are great with maple syrup, fresh berries or cantaloupe. They mix together quickly and using non-stick spray they cook up quickly as well…and no added oils needed.

I added 1/2 cup of 10 grain pancake mix and blueberries- best pancakes I’ve ever made and/eaten! Also, huckleberry syrup and pecans for topping.
Kate says
Well that sounds delicious! =D Thank you for sharing!

These pancakes were tasty, but they didn’t make enough for 3 people. I would double it next time. I made them the usual size, which is about 5 inches in diameter, so perhaps your recipe called for small pancakes. Also, I added 1/4 cup of (self-rising) flour because after I blended the mixture in the food processor, they were very thick and there wasn’t much batter. I made mine with 3 eggs instead of 4 to cut back on cholesterol. I thought they needed oil (most pancakes do have a small amount of oil in the batter), so I added 2 tablespoons of safflower oil. I liked the recipe because the cottage cheese gave the pancakes a little tang and extra protein, and the oats gave them a great whole-grain texture.

I also added a purpose flour a bit extra baking powder and a bit of oil and butter . I cut down to three eggs . It would only be enough for two here , but the serving size is only one pancake !

Thank you! Yes, I let the extras cool to room temperature and then put them in a freezer baggie in the fridge. I reheat them in the microwave, but I think the toaster oven would work well too.
