There’s something undeniably comforting about pancakes, right? But what if I told you that you can enjoy a stack of them without the guilt—or the flour? Introducing my Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes, a breakfast favorite reinvented for health-conscious food lovers. These fluffy, golden rounds are high in protein, gluten-free, and quick to make with just a few ingredients.

1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
-
¼ cup rolled oats or oat flour (optional for extra texture)
-
½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

¼ teaspoon sea salt

1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
-
Butter or coconut oil, for cooking
Optional Add-Ins:

1 ripe banana (for natural sweetness)
-
A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
