This Cottage Cheese Pancakes recipe is so easy to make and packed with protein! These pancakes are more like crepes, making them perfect for a variety of fillings and toppings. They contain only six basic ingredients, all of which I keep on hand at all times.
My children love these pancakes. In fact, they are often their request for their birthday breakfast. They even eat these plain as a grab-and-go breakfast on their way out the door to school!
I love that they are super easy — just throw everything in the blender and that.is.it! Also, pouring the batter from the blender onto the griddle is genius. It’s so much easier than using a mixing bowl.
So if you’re trying to get more protein into your diet but still want to have the “feeling” of eating carbs, this recipe is perfect. It’s a standby, often-requested recipe at my house, and I hope you’ll love it as much as we do!
