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!
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.
