Easy high protein breakfast w/ protein frosting 🫶
I have a variation of these pancakes at least 2-3x a week for breakfast! They’re so simple and packed with protein! *disclaimer* I do use sourdough discard in mine but I will add the alternative for that.
Yields: 3-4 pancakes 🥞
Pancake Recipe:
- 1/4c (55g) cottage cheese (I use good culture)

- 1/4c (55g) Greek yogurt
- 1/4c sourdough discard or 2 tbsp flour
- splash of vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
- (add splash of milk to desired consistency if needed)
To make:
- In a mixer blend your cottage cheese and add to bowl, or can use emulsion blender
- Add in egg, vanilla, Greek yogurt, and sourdough as well if using. Mix to combine
- Add in all dry ingredients and mix to combine.
- Add milk if needed to desired consistency
( At this point you can add in any fresh fruit or chocolate chips to your batter you may be using in the pancakes)
Protein frosting recipe:
