If you’re looking for a healthy, protein packed, delicious pancake recipe…

These Pumpkin Cottage Cheese Pancakes are it. Made in minutes in the blender, they are one of the easiest was to a healthy breakfast that I know.

However, if healthy is your priority, you may want to skip straight to the recipe and not listen to how I actually eat these pancakes.

I just don’t believe there’s such a thing as too much butter when it comes to eating pancakes. Or waffles. Or muffins. I want a big glob of it on top and I want every single bite to have a rich, salty, buttery kick. And then there’s the syrup. Maple syrup is best on these and I prefer an obscene amount of it. A little drizzle just soaks in and disappears, I want it drenched so what I’ve created is kind of a rich, buttery, maple-y sauce.

And I won’t be mad at you if you add whipped cream too.

Anything special you need to know?

You need a blender to make these pancakes and that makes them an absolute cinch to make. You throw all the ingredients, except the chocolate chips straight into the blender and blend until the batter is completely smooth.

The batter gets poured into a bowl and the chocolate chips are folded in. That. Is. It.

Cook, eat, enjoy.

What Ingredients do you need to make these Pumpkin Cottage Cheese Pancakes?

Cottage Cheese – I use 2%
Pumpkin – puree, not pie filling
Oats – whole, rolled oats work best
Eggs – large size
Coconut Oil
Coconut Sugar – can sub in regular sugar
Cinnamon
Baking Powder
Salt
Vanilla
Chocolate Chips – dark or semi-sweet
Soft Butter & Maple Syrup – lots 😉

Anything Special You Need to Know?

Can a pancake really be healthy?

Totally! Not the way I eat them, but they can be. These are high protein, refined sugar free and packed with nutritious pumpkin and whole oats.

What is the best temperature for cooking pancakes?

I never go over medium heat. I find this allows the outside to get nice and golden while the insides have time to cook completely.

Are any other spices good in these?

For sure! Nutmeg would be lovely and so would ginger, or allspice. They’d be fabulous with pumpkin pie spice too (click here to learn how to make your own).
