Delicious Cottage Cheese Pancakes - no healthy extras need for these. So perfect to enjoy any time of day.
These yummy pancakes are made using just a handful of ingredients - cottage cheese, coconut flour, eggs, baking powder, vanilla and sukrin.
Sukrin is a natural sweetener, and my prefer choice in baking items like this because it has no aftertaste. Feel free to substitute with any sweetener of choice.
Coconut flour is a great ingredient for treats like this. Compared to regular flour, you need a lot less quantity because it is so fibrous, meaning you don't need to use as much as regular flour.
Perfect served just as they are with fresh berries or for a more decadent breakfast or dessert, a small drizzle of Maple Syrup.
You will need a blender to blend the cottage cheese until smooth. I use the cups of my Nutri Ninja Blender with Auto IQ. This blender is amazing. The auto IQ technology feature, mean it blends to a set pattern depending on what it is you are making. If you have an immersion stick blender, that will work fine too.
Patience, however, is a must when making these, use a low heat, and don't try to flip until you see them almost set on top and then careful slide your spatula underneath and flip over.
Then you can repeat with the remaining mixture. I get 5 pancakes from the mix, but how many you get, will depend on how big or small you make these.
As these are made with coconut flour, these are also gluten-free (just check the brand of cottage cheese you use, as some may have a gluten added).

WW Smart Points - 3
*suitable for freezing
Ingredients
- ½ cup (120ml) of cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1.5 tbs of coconut flour
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- ½ tsp of baking powder
- ½ tbs of Sukrin (or another sweetener of choice)
- Cooking Oil Spray
- Fresh fruit of choice (I used mixed berries)
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese and eggs an to a blender and blend until smooth
- Add the dry ingredients and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Spray a skillet over a medium heat with some spray oil (it's important not to have pan on too high a heat)
- Pour a little bit of mixture on to the pan, as you see little air bubble appear on and it almost set on top, carefully slide a spatula underneath and flip to cook the other side.
- Patience is needed at this stage, as try to flip too soon and you will break up the pancake. When a spatula can slide under carefully, you know they are ready.

Could I use Splenda in the same quantities instead of stevia?
slimadmin says
yes you sure can 🙂
Linda Cook says
do you blitz the cottage cheese to make it smooth or keep it as it is?
slimadmin says
I didn't, but you can if you prefer 🙂
Carol says
How long will they keep and can you freeze
Becky Mead says

slimadmin says

Melanie Anne Ross says
Have just made these for breakfast and served them with strawberries and bananas... I may add a little more sweetener next time as I will definitely be making them again. Thanks again for another fab recipe 🙂
Giselle Stafford says
I must have been doing something wrong, they are falling apart!
The only thing omitted was the vanilla E cos I don't have any.
What a shame, they look so so good!
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Hi Giselle, what coconut flour did you use? Also was it definitely a tablespoon you added? Did you possibly try to flip them too soon? Low heat, but giving them enough time to set underneath before flipping. When a spatula slides under easily, you know they are ready to flip, too soon and they will break apart. Try not blending the cottage cheese next time, keeping the curds, will help them hold together more. You can also add a little baking powder to make them rise a little, i've been doing this recently with these and it works a treat. My kids like them with jam spread over the top.
Rosie says
Love the idea of this recipe. Could I use blended oats instead of the coconut flour or even just regular white flour?
Thanks for all you recipes too. I’ve tried loads of them!
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
I don’t use oats on these, so that it saves your HEb and is suitable for those who are celiac, but also can’t eat oats. Regular flour may work, but you need a lot less In quantity when using coconut flour because of how fibrous it is. So you would maybe need more regular flour and therefore more syns.
Jean says
If this yields approx 5 pancakes, is it 2.5 syns per pancake, or 2.5 syns for all 5?
Thanks.
