COTTAGE CHEESE CINNAMON ROLL PANCAKES
Ingredients:
* 1/2 cup oat flour
* 1/2 cup all purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/4 tsp salt
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup cottage cheese, blended or left chunky
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 2-3 tbsp milk of choice*
* oil or butter for the pan
Cinnamon Swirl
* 2 tbsp butter, melted
* 4 tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* (Optional) melted coconut butter to glaze on top or maple syrup
How to:
1. Whisk the eggs together in a large mixing bowl, then add the cottage cheese and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
2. Add the dry ingredients and gently fold together. If the batter is too thick, mix in 2-3 tbsp of milk. (The batter should be thick, but not feel too dry.)
3. Mix the cinnamon swirl ingredients together.
4. Heat a lightly oiled/buttered pan on medium heat and spoon some pancake batter (about 1/4 cup per pancake) into the pan.
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side. Use a piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner cut out and add a swirl of the cinnamon sugar mixture.Then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve with maple syrup or some glaze.
TIP: make sure to cook the pancakes longer on the first side and cook them on medium-heat. (Don’t cook them on high heat!) Otherwise the cinnamon sugar mixture can burn on the bottom.

These high-protein cottage cheese cinnamon roll pancakes are an excellent choice for anyone looking to combine nutrition with comfort food. Featuring 28 grams of protein per serving, thanks to the use of blended cottage cheese, they support muscle repair and keep you feeling full longer. The addition of oat flour not only adds whole grains but also provides valuable fiber, promoting digestive health. To enhance the flavor and create that classic cinnamon roll effect, the recipe includes a cinnamon sugar swirl made of melted butter, brown or coconut sugar, and cinnamon, which melts beautifully into the pancakes as they cook. Using a piping bag or a plastic ziplock bag with a small corner cut makes applying the swirl easy and neat. For best results, cook the pancakes on medium heat to ensure they are golden brown and cooked through without burning the cinnamon sugar. The cottage cheese adds moisture and a creamy texture, while the eggs and a small amount of all-purpose flour help to bind the batter together. This recipe is versatile and allows for customization depending on diet preferences. For instance, plant-based milk alternatives can be used to keep it dairy-light, and coconut sugar offers a natural sweetener option. Serving pancakes with maple syrup or a drizzle of melted coconut butter glaze creates a delightful finish. Not only are these pancakes delicious and satisfying, but they also make a fantastic post-workout meal or a nourishing breakfast during colder months. Plus, the combination of protein, fiber, and whole grains ensures a balanced nutritional profile. Whether you're searching for a comforting weekend brunch idea or a healthy weekday breakfast, these cottage cheese cinnamon roll pancakes bring both flavor and nutrition to your table.
