Here’s your delicious and nutritious Healthy Oatmeal Pancakes with Cottage Cheese and Blueberries recipe!
Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour for smoother texture)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tbsp honey or stevia (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
For the Filling:
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 tsp honey or stevia (optional)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions:
- Blend the batter:
- In a blender, combine oats, eggs, cottage cheese, milk, honey (or stevia), vanilla, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Blend until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Cook the pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the filling:
- In a small bowl, mix cottage cheese, honey (or stevia), and vanilla. Gently fold in blueberries.
- Assemble & serve:
- Spread the cottage cheese-blueberry filling between pancake layers or on top.
- Drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup if desired.
Tips:
- For gluten-free, ensure oats are certified GF.
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest 10 minutes before cooking.
- Swap blueberries for raspberries, bananas, or dark chocolate chips for variety.
Enjoy your wholesome, protein-packed pancakes—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a guilt-free dessert! 😊🍽️
