Made with oats and eggs, these fluffy pancakes offer a nutritious start to your day with a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Shamrock Farms Lowfat Cottage Cheese
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 medium lemons – for zest and juice (about 3 tablespoons lemon juice)
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

For Cooking

  • 2-3 tablespoons butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a food processor or blender, combine the Shamrock Farms Lowfat Cottage Cheese, oats, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey. Blend on high for 30 seconds until the batter is completely smooth, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Preheat the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add about ½ to 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface, preparing it for cooking the pancakes.
  3. Cook the pancakes: Gently pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Immediately add 6-8 fresh blueberries onto the surface of each pancake. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbles begin to appear on the surface.
  4. Flip the pancakes: Using a rubber spatula, carefully flip each pancake over to avoid dropping blueberries. Some blueberries may fall out, but you can enjoy those separately. Cook for an additional 2 minutes or until cooked through. Depending on blueberry size, slightly longer cooking time may be needed to ensure the pancake is fully cooked.
  5. Serve: Add more butter to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup or your favorite toppings for a satisfying breakfast treat.

Notes

  • Using a blender or food processor ensures the batter is smooth and pancakes are tender.
  • Fresh blueberries work best for juicy bursts of flavor; frozen can be used but may affect cooking time.
  • Adjust butter quantity to prevent pancakes from sticking without making them greasy.
  • For a thicker pancake, use old-fashioned oats; quick oats can be substituted but texture will differ.
  • Maple syrup or a drizzle of honey pairs well with the lemon-blueberry flavor profile.
