These fluffy high-protein blueberry cottage cheese pancakes are light, moist, and packed with flavor, perfect for a healthy and satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour (can substitute with whole wheat, oat, or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) milk, any kind (dairy or plant-based)
  • ¾ cup (110 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until mostly smooth but still a bit lumpy (about 3 minutes).
  2. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until no more streaks of flour remain. The batter should be thick but pourable. Add more milk if too thick.
  4. Carefully fold in the blueberries, fresh or frozen, without thawing if frozen.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil. The pan is ready when water droplets sizzle and evaporate on contact.
  6. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter or oil as needed.
  8. Serve warm with toppings like maple syrup, extra blueberries, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and moist. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better batter consistency. Cook on medium heat to avoid burning. If pancakes brown too quickly, lower the heat. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if needed. Frozen blueberries can be added directly without thawing.
