3 Ingredients to Breakfast Bliss

What do these three ingredients have in common?

Cottage cheese (bleghhhhhh), eggs, and oatmeal?

Despite being super healthy and good for your body, these three ingredients have one MAJOR thing in common.

A big ole plate of PURE breakfast bliss, that’s what.

I hope you are as excited as I am

Thank you to Jessica from Warfield Ninjas for sharing with me one of the simplest yet tastiest belly pleasing recipes I’ve tried in a while!

For two good sized pancakes (similar in size to a toaster waffle), you’ll need to combine the following in a food processor:

  • 1/3 cup uncooked oats (I used quick oats)
  • 1/3 cottage cheese (I used fat free)
  • 2 egg whites

Give all the goods a quick buzz in the food processor until the lumps are gone, and cook them up like you would “normal” pancakes!

get. in. my. bellllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

I was feeling a little OVER THE TOP, so I decided to top mine off with some all-natural peanut butter, Dannon Vanilla Greek yogurt, strawberries, AND Smuckers sugar free syrup.

Feel free to use the toppings of your choice.  To each her own pancake, I always say

I made a smaller version of these for my mom over the holiday weekend, and she said they were surprisingly tasty and that she appreciated the “healthy and hearty” texture of the pancakes.  I completely agree!

Pure breakfast bliss.

I’m looking forward to playing with this recipe a bit – and hopefully making it waffle-iron ready

Hello! I’m Mary, a self-proclaimed fervent foodie and carbohydrate connoisseur. This blog is about my life—my passions, adventures, and failures—through food. I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google

  • MMMMM that looks so good...I have all the ingredient, except the cottage cheese. Going shopping today and buy some. I'm making the pancakes for breakfast tomorrow. 80)

  • Such beautiful pics! Can't wait to see all your variations! And I really appreciate the fact that you give the nutritional stats as well.

  • I love pancakes and I never make them. Which frankly is rude to both pancakes and my belly. I think it's time we get reacquianted- and now I know just the recipe ;)

  • Not a fan of cottage cheese, but the pancakes look fab. Do you actually taste the CC?

    • I DESPISE cottage cheese, but really like these. They didn't taste like cottage cheese to me, and once you get the lumps out you really can't tell the cc is even in there! In one batch I added cinnamon and a little vanilla extract, and that was tasty too.

  • Mary, these are fabulous! I love how simple and straightforward the recipe is- the best for everyday mornings :)

    Please make 'em waffle iron ready :)

  • I'm so glad you liked them! We also don't like cottage cheese, and I can't taste it in them at all!

  • Every time I see pancakes I instantly drool and crave them. I don't know if it's because pancakes rock or if it's because I love having an excuse to use maple syrup.

  • Hi Mary, I just came across your blog (and love it)! These pancakes look so good. I haven't eaten dairy in a while (not for an ideological reason lol, I just haven't bought it) and you're making me want to give cottage cheese another shot. Great post!

  • OMG this is so easy and I have to try this! I'm obsessed with pancakes and trying new recipes plus I'm one of the few people that loves cottage cheese. This is great!
