Gluten Free Protein Pancakes with Mixed Berry Maple Syrup
Part of my Meal Prep in 1 Hour Series, these Gluten Free Protein Pancakes are made with gluten free oats and cottage cheese, no added protein powder! I love making these for meal prep and topping them with a Mixed Berry Maple Syrup!
Use this recipe along with any other of my Meal Prep in 1 Hour recipes and you should be able to knock out 2 meals for the week in about an hour, give or take!
A good protein pancake without all of the extra junk/sugars added into is hard to find. And one that is gluten free is almost non-existent! That’s why I came up with this recipe!
You do not have to be gluten free to love this recipe! Feel free to use regular oats, if you don’t live that GF life. I choose to eat GF, not because I am allergic, but because I’ve noticed inflamation after eating foods that contain gluten.
Where can I find GLuten Free oats?
This is a common question I always get asked-
I am a Trader Joes girl all the way! I get a big bag of them every time I go, but if you don’t have a Trader Joes near you, just look for Bobs Red Mill or any other brand at your local grocery store carries. I have even seen them in the bulk food section at our local grocery store. Be sure to read the labels!
Items to pick up-
you probably already have most of these ingredients on hand!
if you don’t have one already, be sure to get a bullet style blender or a food processor. i don’t use one too often, so I found this one for jsut under $15 and it works great!
for the pancakes-
- gluten free or regular oats
- low fat cottage cheese
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- cinnamon
- salt
- maple syrup
- coconut oil or butter
- frozen mixed berries
These pancakes are my go-to for a busy week because they don’t take much effort and are extremly tasty! I always serve mine with one egg- fried or scrambled and usually a small handful of spinach to sneak in some greens!
this recipe makes enough for 8 pancakes and you can double the batch if needed!
because i do have a smaller bullet blender, I did have to leave out two of the eggs, blend it for a second and then add the other two eggs once the oats where blended down a little. This just depends on the size of your blender
Gluten Free Protein Pancakes with Mixed Berry Maple Syrup
Equipment
- small blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free oats if preferred
- 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
Mixed Berry Maple Syrup
- 2 cups frozen mixed berries
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Let's Make It
- Add all of the pancake ingredients into a bullet style blender or food processor, continue blending until smooth. You may need to shake the cup around to get anything that might be stuck to the top and if you have a smaller blender, you may need to leave two of the eggs out, blend for a few seconds to create some extra room and then add the other 2 eggs in.
- Over medium/high heat coat a pan with about 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil or butter and pour about 1/4 cup of the mixture for each pancake- depending on the size, this should be enough for about 8 pancakes.
- While cooking the pancakes, add frozen berries to a small pot over medium/low heat until the berries begin to breakdown, then add in the maple syrup and continue cooking another 5 mins or so- this will still provide sweetness to the pancakes without over doing it with maple syrup or other sweetners, saving you calories, too!
- If using this for meal prep, assemble each bowl with 2 pancakes and the Mixed Berry Maple Syrup on the side, so the pancakes don't get mushy!
