Pancakes aren’t typically considered “healthy” foods, but with a few alterations in the ingredients, it is possible to have delicious fluffy pancakes that give you sustained energy (without any crashes) and keep you feeling full and satisfied. In this recipe I use cottage cheese in place of the usual oil and eggs and replaced white flour with whole grain oats. This added protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates are a much better way to start your day, or end it for that matter!

it looks really good. i have been looking for a recipe that won’t make me feel guilty after eating and somethings my kids will still love. I made the mistake of making them Fiber One pancakes & they still haven’t forgiven me.

I made these this morning – and they were delicious! I was only able to make 4 pancakes instead of 6 (I measured each 1/4 cup). Any advice? Thanks :)

Can I just say I LOVE your blog! After stumbling upon it a couple of days ago I’ve tried a few of your recipes and every single one was absolutely fabulous (everyone in my family agreed as well!). These pancakes especially were to die for though =] I can’t wait to try more thanks!!

These pancakes look and sound delicious! I’ve been wanting to try making pancakes with oats instead of flour, so I will definitely have to give your recipe a try. I love the idea of substituting cottage cheese for the oil and egg yolks.

Made these this morning! Instead of the Splenda I used brown sugar because I don’t like sugar substitutes. They were okay, not very fluffy, the batter was pretty runny. But I would make them again. :)
Jessica Davis said:
I try to eat low carb. I almond flour a lot. Do you think I could substitute almond flour in your pancake and baked good recipes without much trouble?
Dashing Dish said:
that should work… haven’t tried it so i can’t say for sure, but i think it would
Jessica Davis said:
I tried last night… it didn’t work :( But, that’s okay. Oats are much lower in carbs than flour, so I will make the original recipe. Thanks Katie!

Thanks Lisa! I hope your kids love them..you could even add a few mini chocolate chips to each pancake for your kids..I guarantee they will be a hit! :) Let me know how they turn out!!!
Katie Farrell said:
