Cottage Cheese Blender Pancakes

These are the nicest high-protein pancakes, perfect for our little ones (and ourselves) to keep us full and satisfied for the day! They are a one-blender recipe, which makes mornings that little bit easier (and less washing up!) – they are so delicious we have been making them on repeat for breakfasts!

This recipe is from our book TODDLER TO TABLE if you want more, easy recipes just like this!

They have about 20g protein per serve thanks to the cottage cheese, which you can’t taste but adds a lovely light fluffy texture to the pancakes!

I have also played with cooking these in the oven instead of a pan – because on a busy school morning I don’t have time to sit at the frying pan for 30 minutes flipping! They worked well in the oven, they were a little more dense than a frying pan and more ‘cake like’ but the kids didn’t mind at all and it meant I could have a shower! I like to double the recipe and use a 25x20cm baking tray which takes about 20 minutes to cook – the cooking time will depend on the thickness of your batter – try to use a tray which will keep the batter around ‘pancake’ depth.
