Quick Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Q

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12  minutes
Total Time: 17 minutes
Servings: 12 – 16 pancakes

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup cottage cheese (2% or 4% milk fat)
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tbs butter
  • Berries or applesauce (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, and cinnamon (if using).
  2. Blend on high until a super smooth batter is achieved.
  3. Warm a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt.
  4. Pour a small amount of the batter into the skillet, spreading it thinly. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, ensuring little bubbles form and the top is mostly set before flipping each pancake to ensure they are cooked through.
  5. Melt the remaining butter and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
  6. Serve the pancakes warm, and top them with your desired berries or applesauce.

Notes:

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Warm the pancakes briefly before serving.
  • If desired, you can use ricotta cheese as a substitute for cottage cheese.

About me

Hey there! I'm Ann-Louise, and I proudly wear the badge of a working mom with honor. Although I'm originally from Sweden, I've been fortunate to call beautiful San Diego my home for the past 11 years.

My life's a beautiful juggling act, constantly striving to strike that perfect balance between my professional commitments and cherishing precious moments with my little superstar, Luca, who brightened our lives in September 2022. Some days, I feel like I've got it all together, while on others, well, let's just say it's a work in progress.

In the midst of the motherhood hustle, I've become quite the expert in food planning and prepping, my secret weapon for staying sane and keeping things running smoothly on those bustling weekdays.

When I'm not immersed in food prep and planning, you can find me dedicated to my ultimate passion – exercise! It's not just a hobby; it's my escape, keeping me energized and centered. Though it took some time to rediscover my exercise groove after giving birth, I now love every moment of it.

Amidst the beautiful chaos of motherhood, Mamas Bits & Bites is my way of sharing a slice of joy and inspiration with fellow moms on their unique journeys.
