A note on cottage cheese
You might be thinking… urgh, gross, cottage cheese doesn’t belong in a pancake! Trust me, I had the same concern. But let me quell your fears and assure you – you won’t taste the cottage cheese at all.
In fact, it adds a beautifully creamy texture and a good dose of protein (10g per 100g). With the eggs included, each pancake (I usually make two big ones) packs over 16g of protein, which is pretty awesome for something that tastes this good!
Oh, and a little tip – avoid low-fat cottage cheese. In my opinion, it tastes awful! The tastiest one I’ve found is from Longley Farm, but just go for the best option available to you.
So, there you have it – the perfect protein pancake recipe that’s simple, nutritious, and absolutely delicious. Give it a go, and let me know what you think!
