Flour-Free Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Pancakes are a classic favorite for breakfast or snacking—fast to make, versatile, and always satisfying. But traditional flour-based pancakes can sometimes feel a bit heavy. That’s where flourless cottage cheese pancakes shine: light, protein-rich, and just as delicious. They’re perfect for anyone looking for a healthier option without sacrificing flavor.
Ready in only 5 minutes, these pancakes turn out soft, fluffy, and incredibly easy to customize. A simple batter made with cottage cheese, milk, vanilla pudding powder, and egg cooks up into golden perfection.

🥞 Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes
📝 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Milk | 65 ml | Creates a smooth, creamy texture |
| Vanilla pudding / butter powder | 1.5 tbsp | Adds flavor and binds without flour |
| Egg | 1 | Provides structure |
| Cottage cheese (white cheese) | 1 tbsp | Adds creaminess and fluffiness |
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, pudding powder, egg, and cottage cheese.
Whisk or blend until smooth and creamy.
The batter should be pourable but slightly thick—adjust with a splash of milk if needed, or add more pudding powder or cottage cheese if too thin.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour small amounts of batter to create thin pancakes.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges lift, then flip gently and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping an eye on them—they cook fast.
Step 3: Fill & Serve
Choose your favorite fillings:
• Jam (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry)
• Nutella for a rich chocolate touch
• Melted chocolate for dessert-style pancakes
• Extra cottage cheese for a savory, protein-packed option
• Poppy seeds for added texture
• Nuts like almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts
Roll or stack the pancakes and finish with honey, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
💡 Tips for Best Results
• Thin batter works best for delicate pancakes
• Keep the heat medium-low to avoid burning
• Add cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor
• Store cooked pancakes in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat before serving
✨ Light, fluffy, protein-rich, and endlessly customizable—these flourless cottage cheese pancakes prove that healthy can still be incredibly delicious.
