Savory Cottage Cheese & Chives Pancakes (32g Protein)

Published: 8/31/2026

Inspired by the high-protein pancake trend, this savory UK-style version focuses on fresh herbs and sea salt. Nutrient-dense oats and cottage cheese replace flour for an exceptional breakfast.

Ingredients (2 servings)

• 1 cup (240 g) cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup (50 g) rolled oats
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp (10 g) fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) sea salt
• 1/2 tsp (2 g) baking powder

Instructions

1. Blend the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, salt, and baking powder until the batter is perfectly smooth.
2. Fold in the chopped chives by hand.
3. Cook small pancakes on a preheated non-stick skillet for 2–3 minutes per side.
4. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a slice of smoked salmon.

Pro Tips

• Bubbling Factor: These pancakes do not bubble like traditional flour pancakes; flip them when the edges look dry and firm to the touch.
• Protein Density: Cottage cheese is primarily composed of casein protein, which is slow-digesting and provides a steady release of amino acids.
