Add regular, light, or sugar-free syrup to enjoy a sweet treat with minimal additional WW Points or calories. Top with fruit for additional flavor and nutrition. I love these with strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices.
I enjoy making this recipe either as pancakes or as waffles in my Dash mini-waffle maker. I especially like them as waffles because I love the crunchy texture.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Cottage Cheese Blender Pancakes
Vegetarian/Vegan/Whole Food, Plant-Based High Protein Waffles or Pancakes

Yes, you can. With just a few simple swaps, you can make a plant-based version of this recipe.
I experimented with using tofu in this recipe, and the waffles turned out great. I
made the following changes:
โ Instead of cottage cheese, use a 12 oz box (shelf-stable) of silken tofu.
โ Instead of 2 eggs, use 4 Tablespoons of ground flax meal + 8 Tablespoons of
water.
I prefer making this recipe in my Dash mini-waffle maker. They are so crispy and
yummy.
What Should I Eat Or Serve With These Pancakes Or Waffles?
You can’t go wrong by topping these with the traditional flavors of maple syrup and a butter substitute. Add fresh-cut fruit, turkey bacon, or turkey sausage on the side, and you have a complete meal.

Can I Freeze the Cottage Cheese Blender Pancakes?
If you have a large amount of leftover pancakes, you can freeze them. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then store them in a freezer-safe bag. They will keep for three months when carefully wrapped.
When you are ready to eat, place the bag of frozen pancakes in the refrigerator overnight to defrost.
You can also freeze in a single layer on a sheet pan and then place the frozen pancakes into a freezer-safe bag or container. Then, whenever you want a pancake or two, you can grab a couple and reheat them in the microwave or even in your toaster.
These are a bit more crumbly after freezing, but still delicious.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Blender Pancakes in 3 Easy Steps (With Photos!)
Here is your step-by-step guide to making low calorie/low point pancakes or waffles.
Step 1: Gather Ingredients

Measure out all the ingredients ahead of time to make this recipe quickly.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients & Blend
Combine all the ingredients in the blender and blend for about 30 seconds. (This requires a full-sized blender. If using a mini-blender like a Magic Bullet, you will need to do it in 2 batches.) Do not over-blend. Only mix until combined.

The mixture should be the consistency of a very thick smoothie. It will be thicker than a typical pancake batter.

Be sure to allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes for the baking powder to activate.
Step 3 – Heat Skillet And Cook
Heat a skillet to medium to medium-low (lower than you would use for regular pancakes) heat. Spray pan with cooking spray if needed to prevent sticking.

Pour mixture into pancakes, about โ cup each. When the top begins to bubble, flip over. Cook until golden brown and serve. The whole batch makes two generous servings.
Alternatively, these can be made into small waffles in a mini-waffle maker such as a Dash.

If using a waffle maker, pre-heat the waffle maker and spray generously with cooking spray every time you start a new waffle.

You don’t have to wait for the weekend to enjoy pancakes or waffles. Any day is a pancake day with this yummy recipe.
