When healthy tastes good you know you’ve found a winner! These oatmeal blender pancakes are something our whole family enjoys! They’re quick, easy and because they’re packed with healthy ingredients, they’re deliciously filling!
This recipe is prepared in the blender which means clean up is a breeze! We use our Vitamix when we make these pancakes and it does an amazing job! We use our Vitamix almost daily, it’s an appliance we couldn’t live without!

I love the texture of these pancakes and I love knowing we’re eating something good for us as we enjoy one of our favorite breakfast foods!
My kids love to top their oatmeal pancakes with nutella and bananas. I love raspberries, strawberries or syrup. Any way you like them, these pancakes are delicious and a great, healthy breakfast alternative that kids will love!

I love this low carb breakfast option! Gorgeous pancakes and the addition of oatmeal make these filling along with delicious 🙂
Rebecca says
They really are SO good Liz! Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment. 🙂 Have a great day!
Olga says
Rebecca, I love the healthier choice of pancake using the oatmeal.
Can the egg whites be substitute with eggs and some milk? May be?
Thanks
Rebecca says
I haven’t tried it myself Olga, but if you do I’d love to hear how they turn out!
lacy says
Can I substitute the cottage cheese for something else for this recipe?
Rebecca says
I haven’t done it myself Lacy….but let me know if you come up with something! Would love to hear.

Stacey from Total City Girl says
My girls love pancakes so I’ll definitely give these a try. From the photos they look thinner than regular pancakes. Somewhere between a crepe and a pancake. I like that!
Barbara @ Barbara Bakes says
How great to have a pancake recipe you can feel good about eating.
Rebecca says
And they’re delicious to boot Barbara – win win! 🙂
Gwen says
These look amazing! {and your photos are incredible!}
Rebecca says
Thank you Gwen!
Ellie says
These taste delicious. I had a problem with the texture of the batter. Then I realized I used only 2 egg whites instead of 2 cups of egg whites! Needless to say my first couple of pancakes didn’t turn out very well. Lol. After I corrected my mistake the rest of the batch turned out great! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Rebecca says
So glad you enjoyed them Ellie — oops on only adding 2 egg whites — glad you caught that and they turned out for you! They really are so yummy! 🙂
Janice says
These are absolutely delicious. I like the fact that you can make your oatmeal as fine or not so fine (a bit more texture) and you end up with equally great tasting results! Everyone in my family has given this recipe a thumbs up! They are the bomb diggedy! 🙂
Andy says
Oh my god, my kids will love this. 🙂 I really wanted to make a healthy dessert for them but I couldn’t think up of anything delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
amanda says
Would be great to know the amount of carbohydrate in these so I can adjust my insulin accordingly. They look lovely
Mande Douglas says
Amanda, I have to do the same thing. I use this website: https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076, and it calculates everything for me. It’s very easy. According to the recipe, the carbs are only 6.6g, and the protein is 11.6 for a recipe that yields 20 pancakes. Hope this helps!
Nicole says
If I make s full batch do you know of these will freeze and reheat well? I need a substitute for a high protein low carb breakfast that’ll be quick in the morning!
Rebecca says
I haven’t tried freezing them so I’m not sure, sorry Nicole. The batch isn’t huge, but I’m making them for a family of 6 so we always eat them all.
Nicole says
Thank you Rebecca for replying back. I will do a trial this week and keep you posted! 🙂
walter says
I have not froze them but have kept a batch in the fridge for a few days and was still good. I just let the batter warm up a bit before cooking and it puffed up and was ready to go, hope this helps and if you or anyone knows the nutrition facts I would love to know them.
walter says
Does anyone know the nutrition facts for these pancakes? I have high blood sugar and with sugar free syrup these sound like something I can eat often,Thanks
Angie says
My son just ate 5 pancakes and loved them! I had to substitute Greek yogurt for the cottage cheese and it worked great. I did try part of the batch with cinnamon – didn’t care for the taste.
Next time being that I am only cooking for 3 people, I think I will half the recipe and use my Nutribullet.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Cassie says
I have been greatly minimizing the sugar in my kids diet. The Quker oats in my pantry have 23 net carbs per 1/2 cup dry oats. That’s A LOT! Add syrup, even a substitue, and it’s more that I’d like to see them eating in one sitting. Any suggestion for a different brand of oats that might cut that down to half?
Rebecca says
Sorry – I don’t Cassie.
Colleen says
I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and pancakes are a staple in our house. So glad I found this low-carb option. I cannot wait to try them!
Kay says
I’m concerned about the amount of sodium in cottage cheese. Can I use something else?
Tenesha says
I absolutely love these pancakes. I made them for the first time about 2 years ago and had it a second time this morning. I shared the recipe on my website and mentioned your blog as well http://www.thetenfootjourney.com/2017/05/03/easy-low-carb-oatmeal-pancakes/. Thanks for another delicious breakfast
Lee says
This a great recipe … I tried FLAX EGGS the first time … they DON’T work.
Then I tried as written and make small pancakes as part of a dessert … worked well … I’m going to try baking them next time. Thanks very much!!
Merry says
I was a little sceptical because I’ve tried low carb recipes before and have never liked any of them. I want something that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for healthy. These were really good! i will definitely try these again.
MEAl5 says
The batch isn’t huge, but I’m making them for a family of 6 so we always eat them all.
Deborah says
These sound great, but I can only have a total of 45 carbs per meal. Can you please tell me what the nutritional information is for these pancakes?
veefx says
These look amazing!
Fionah says
Hi can you tell me the total carb content for this recipe please?
Mande Douglas says
Can you recommend a way to keep these from sticking? I followed the recipe exactly and cooked on a stove griddle, greased with bacon grease, a stainless steel pan with the same grease, and finally we took the remaining ingredients and cooked them in a cast iron skillet in the oven. Same result all the way around. They wouldn’t be thick enough on the top to be able to flip, but they would stick to the pan and burn in about a minute. We kept the heat down to medium and eventually low-med. Same results all around.
Rebecca says
Mande – I’ve never had a problem with them sticking. So sorry!
Suzanne says
Amazing pancakes ? my kids loved these !!! Thank you for an amazing protein pancake recipe !!! ?
Ryan says
This looks really delicious – will give this a try. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Michele Knowles says
I loved these pancakes. I made a batch and froze them. I use sugar free syrup and blueberries on them.
Rebecca says
Sounds delicious Michele! I’m so glad you loved them.
