Cottage Cheese Pancakes
High-protein gluten-free cottage cheese pancakes make a healthy, filling, delicious breakfast!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Shamrock Farms. The opinions and text are all mine.
We are back in school and since my kids leaving at different times throughout the morning, I try to make quick, easy, and healthy breakfasts. I love to make these protein cottage cheese pancakes on Sunday to store in the refrigerator during the week. They become a quick grab and go breakfast for my family. My kids love these cottage cheese pancakes!
These Cottage Cheese Pancakes are whipped up in the blender with simple ingredients. I start with Shamrock Farms Cottage Cheese because it is low in calories, carbohydrates and fat, and high in bone-building calcium. Shamrock Farms cottage cheese is hand-crafted and made with pure, fresh Shamrock Farms milk. I care about the ingredients that go into the food I feed my kids. It is packed with 13 grams of protein and 110 mg of calcium per serving to help my kids with their focus, energy, and keeping them fuller longer.  It’s a delicious staple in my kitchen!
These Cottage Cheese Pancakes have 10 grams of protein per pancake and call for all-natural ingredients. They are made with cottage cheese, eggs, rolled oats (gluten-free), melted butter, 100% real maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. I love to whip them up in a blender in less than 1 minute. These are such a quick and easy breakfast!
One of the most popular recipes on Modern Honey are my BANANA OATMEAL PANCAKES. I wanted to create another high-protein, gluten-free pancake recipe that tastes incredible!
The Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes are basically a hybrid of a crepe and a fluffy pancake.
How to make COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES:
- Â In a blender, add eggs, cottage cheese, rolled oats, melted butter, real maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, and salt. I reach for Shamrock Farms low-fat cottage cheese. I also use gluten-free rolled oats.
- Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Â Once it is heated, add a pat of butter. Pour pancake batter in skillet. Watch carefully for the pancakes to begin to bubble. Flip and cook both sides.
- Top with butter, real maple syrup, and fresh berries.
Since I am also looking how to get more good-for-you foods in my kids diets, I appreciate how Shamrock Farms cottage cheese is crafted using a hands-on approach that has been refined for three generations. It is locally sourced from its own family farm – getting from the farm to your family in as little as two days. All of these things matter to our family!

This is our absolute favourite healthy pancake recipe and it’s become a staple on the weekends! We love that they taste just like regular pancakes with all the benefits of being high protein and gluten free. I’m also very appreciative of the quantity this recipe produces. Most gluten free recipes I’ve found require doubling or tripling for our family of 4, this one produces a stack of pancakes with plenty for leftovers. Thank you very much for posting this recipe!
My new favorite pancakes!!!! So yummy and high protein!
These are amazing!!! I love that they’re high protein 🙂
These were fantastic! Cooked up so easily in the cast iron and added some blueberries. Will definitely be making these a staple.

I will definitely try these as I look for more gluten-free recipes. Are the nutrition facts posted using Shamrock’s Low Fat (2%) Cottage Cheese or Shamrock’s Farm Fresh (4%) Cottage Cheese as it seems to appear in the photos?
Looks amazing! Is it 2T or 4T of butter?
Trying to eat more clean and needed to add more protein to my diet. These are EXCELLENT! My turned out as a thin pancake and not fluffy but that’s okay, the tastes is there! Thank you for sharing!
