I know, sounds gross, right? I promise they are good! My husband, Colby, HATES cottage cheese with a searing passion, but he LOVES these. If you weren’t told they had cottage cheese in them, I swear you would never know! For years, my mom has been making Cottage Cheese Pancakes for us. It’s my FAVORITE pancake in the world, so I adapted the recipe to be gluten free!
The cottage cheese gives the pancakes a type of elasticity that I can’t even describe. You can’t get it anywhere else! What I really enjoy about this recipe is that it’s easy peasy & super healthy! My feeling is that the one downside to most breakfast food is that it’s usually high in sugar & carbs. Lets face it, some are practically desserts…but these thin, delicious, circles of goodness are packed with protein from the eggs & cottage cheese. The cottage cheese also serves you with the GOOD fatty acids. All in all a delicious, balanced breakfast.
All you do is put all your ingredients in a blender, blend, & pour! I use my Blendec. By the way, don’t forget you can tweet every day to gain an extra entry-a-day for our Blendtec giveaway!
I use an all purpose gluten free flour, but if you’re wanting to make them even more healthy, use a brown rice flour blend or a buckwheat flour blend for YOUR gluten free cottage cheese pancakes.

Aww thank you for your comment! Do they sell Bob’s Red Mill over there? That’s the most common gluten free flour out there right now I believe!
Andi @ The Weary Chef
I have not tried cottage cheese pancakes, but now I really want to! You make them look irresistible in your beautiful photos!
Brooke Roundy
Thank you! They are so yummy! You can substitute the GF flour for regular flour. It calls for the same amount 😉
Amy
Mine were Very wet, is that normal ?
Brooke Roundy
Cottage Cheese Pancakes are definitely more wet than flour pancakes. The base of this recipe is cottage cheese, not flour so by nature they will be more wet and they really are more of a crepe than a pancake. They are a lot thinner too so we like to roll ours or stack them! Were you able to get them to turn out?
Emma Jean Burdett
Thanks for the recipe Brooke! I used buckwheat flour and they turned out perfect. Served with a little natural yogurt and frozen berries – delicious!! 🙂
Brooke Roundy
I love them with buckwheat! So glad you tried it out! Thanks for stopping by!!
Kelly
I’m thinking if making these as you describe, adding spinach and Apple to the mix and into the blender to have some fruit/veg in there too for supper tomorrow 🙂
Brooke Roundy
Sounds yummy! I would love to know how they turn out!!
Betsy
These are the best gf pancakes we’ve ever had! My husband suggested making them in our crepe pan, which works so well for these. The recipe makes two huge crepes that are thicker than traditional crepes, but you can then make these sweet or savory (eg, put some ricotta and smoked salmon on top!). Thanks so much for posting this recipe!
Taylor Stauss
So glad you like them!

This recipe was did not turn out for me. I made slime, and it was very gross. I used flax eggs instead of regular eggs so I don’t know if that is what added to the slimeness or if this recipe is just slimy in general. Anyways just thought I would put a warning against flaxseed egg replacement and hope that regular eggs make the difference.
