High-Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes (26g Protein)

Pancakes feel like an indulgence, but blended with cottage cheese and eggs they become a quietly high-protein breakfast — about 26g a serving. Soft and mild, they go down easily on a smaller appetite and skip the sugar spike of the usual stack.

Ingredients

• 150g (⅔ cup) cottage cheese
• 2 eggs
• 60g (½ cup) rolled oats
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Low-calorie cooking spray or a little butter
• Berries, to serve

Method

1. 1Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, baking powder and vanilla until smooth.
2. 2Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
3. 3Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it.
4. 4Cook small pancakes for about 2 minutes per side, until golden and set.
5. 5Serve topped with berries.

Tips for GLP-1 appetites

• Keep the pancakes small and cook them low and slow so they stay soft and tender.
• Skip syrup — the berries add natural sweetness without the sugar crash that can worsen GLP-1 nausea.
• Batter keeps overnight in the fridge for a fast, high-protein start the next morning.
