Notes

If you make these with regular pancake mix, the protein is 25-28g and 450 cals.

I don’t have a blender, can I mix them by hand?

Yes, I’ve made these by hand mixing the batter but the cottage cheese just makes the texture a little bit lumpy. The cheese melts as it cooks but not completely.

Storage & meal prep tips

Fridge

Let the pancakes completely cook before storing them. Then store in a ziplock bag or air-tight container. They will keep in the fridge for 7 days but start to dry out after 4 days.

Frozen

Let them cool completely before freezing. Then layer the pancakes with parchment paper in an airtight container or flash freeze them on a baking tray. Then transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container.

Meal Prep

To meal prep these, double or triple the recipe. Pop some in the freezer and the rest in the fridge. I also like to dice up fresh fruit to have a quick grab-and-go topping option too.

Reheating

You can reheat these from frozen or in the fridge in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, on a stovetop, in a toaster, or toaster oven until heated through. The toaster makes them a bit crispy.

Make pancake bites: To do this, follow the recipe but use vanilla Greek yogurt instead, or add 2 tablespoon maple syrup or vanilla bean paste to the batter so you don't need to add syrup on the go. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Feel free to color them with turmeric, blue or green spirulina, or berries for a fun toddler snack! I like to do orange and blie for Blippi inpsired ones.

Can I add protein powder to these pancakes?

I wouldn't recommend adding more protein powder because it will dry out the batter. If you do, add only 1 scoop of protein powder and an additional egg for more moisture.

Can I use regular pancake mix?

Yup, you can use any "Just add water" or complete pancake mix you like
