Cottage cheese pancakes only contain 3 simple ingredients: cottage cheese, eggs, and flour. If you're looking for a specific type of flour to use feel free to sub it out for all-purpose flour.
These pancakes are not your typical pancake made with flour, buttermilk, and eggs. The cottage cheese gets processed in a food processor until it's smooth and it almost resembles buttermilk.

Why You Will Like These Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Since there are only 3 ingredients in these pancakes they are low carb and keto friendly. Plus the are packed with protein! Pancakes and Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream (Dairy Free) are my favorite way to get extra protein in
I like to cook these pancakes on an outdoor griddle like a Blackstone or a regular griddle. Non stick pans are annoying and you can't cook multiple pancakes at once.
These pancakes are a little time consuming to make and take longer. You have to be patient with these pancakes because they take a little time to brown on each side.
Find a good sugar-free maple syrup to top the pancakes off with. Lankato Sugar-Free maple syrup is a good brand or so is Maple Groves Farm Sugar Free syrup which can be found at Target or Wal-Mart.
What Ingredients do I need for Cottage Cheese Pancakes?
- Cottage Cheese - Any brand of cottage cheese is fine. If you’re from the Midwest I like Cass Clay or Good Culture brand from Target is great too.
- Eggs - always use large eggs, warm temperature eggs are better for blending and baking
- Flour - The original recipe calls for purpose flour. Please feel free to use a specific flour for certain diets and figure out the conversions on your own.

How to make Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Step 1: In a food processor pulse the cottage cheese until smooth. Add in the egg one at a time and then the flour until everything is well combined.
Step 2: Heat a non stick skillet and spray with cooking spray. Cook each pancake on one side until you see those little bubbles and then flip. They take about 2 minues per side.
Serving Size: 1 pancake. Please note, the pancakes will be very thin and not thick because of the batter.
What to serve with Pancakes
Pancakes are a delicious breakfast dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of toppings and sides.
Make some Sugar Free Strawberry Sauce to go on top of the pancakes.
Some classic options for serving with pancakes include butter and maple syrup, whipped cream and berries, or Air fryer Bacon and Blackstone Scrambled Eggs.
If you're looking for something a little savory try my 5 Ingredient Hash Brown Casserole.
