One-Blender Protein Pancakes

Pancakes usually mean bowls, whisks, and a sink full of dishes before breakfast even happens. This version skips all of that — everything goes in the blender, and you’re eating in under 15 minutes.

Why It Works

Eggs and cottage cheese add extra protein on top of your protein powder, so a full stack can easily hit 30g+ protein without feeling heavy or overly sweet — a much more filling start to the day than regular pancakes.

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 2 large eggs

• 150g cottage cheese or Greek yogurt

• 30g protein powder (strawberry-banana)

• 60g oat flour (or blended oats)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 2 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)

• 1 tsp butter or oil, for the pan

Instructions

1. Add the eggs, cottage cheese, protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and milk to a blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 20–30 seconds.

2. Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.

3. Pour small rounds of batter into the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.

4. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more butter or oil to the pan as needed.

Serving idea: top with berries, a drizzle of honey, or a spoon of peanut butter for extra flavor without much extra effort.

FAQ

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

It’s best blended fresh, but you can store leftover batter in the fridge for up to a day if needed.

Can I use a different protein powder flavor?

Yes — chocolate or cinnamon-flavored powders both work well here too.

How do I make these dairy-free?

Swap the cottage cheese for a plant-based yogurt and use a plant-based milk.
