Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Fluffy, Naturally High-Protein & Lightly Sweet

These Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes are the perfect balance of fluffy texture, gentle sweetness, and real nourishment. Made with simple, everyday ingredients, they deliver a satisfying protein boost while still feeling light and comforting. Separating the eggs creates an airy batter that cooks into soft, tender pancakes with a beautifully delicate crumb.

Cottage cheese blends seamlessly into the batter, adding creaminess and richness without heaviness, while vanilla and coconut sugar provide just enough sweetness to make these pancakes feel like a treat rather than a compromise. They’re ideal for slow weekend breakfasts, post-workout meals, or make-ahead mornings when you want something filling that still feels wholesome and fresh.

Benefits of Each Ingredient

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is rich in high-quality protein and calcium, supporting muscle repair, satiety, and bone health while creating a naturally creamy texture.

Eggs

Eggs provide complete protein, essential amino acids, and nutrients such as choline and B vitamins, helping support energy levels, brain health, and muscle function. Separating the whites also contributes to a lighter, fluffier pancake.

Vanilla Extract

Vanilla enhances natural sweetness and flavour without the need for excess sugar, adding warmth and depth to the pancakes.

Coconut Sugar

Coconut sugar offers gentle sweetness with trace minerals, keeping flavours balanced without overpowering the batter.

Flour

Flour provides structure and stability, allowing the pancakes to hold together while staying soft and tender.
