Love the idea of using the blender. These sound yummy!
Oh my! These look amazing, Rebecca! I love that they’re low carb and easy to make in the blender! Will definitely try them out this weekend!!
I love this low carb breakfast option! Gorgeous pancakes and the addition of oatmeal make these filling along with delicious 🙂
They really are SO good Liz! Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a comment. 🙂 Have a great day!
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
I haven’t tried it myself Olga, but if you do I’d love to hear how they turn out!
Can I substitute the cottage cheese for something else for this recipe?
I haven’t done it myself Lacy….but let me know if you come up with something! Would love to hear.

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!
How great to have a pancake recipe you can feel good about eating.
And they’re delicious to boot Barbara – win win! 🙂
These look amazing! {and your photos are incredible!}
Thank you Gwen!
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.
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! 🙂
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! 🙂
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!
Would be great to know the amount of carbohydrate in these so I can adjust my insulin accordingly. They look lovely
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!
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!
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.
Thank you Rebecca for replying back. I will do a trial this week and keep you posted! 🙂
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.
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
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!
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?
Sorry – I don’t Cassie.
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!
I’m concerned about the amount of sodium in cottage cheese. Can I use something else?
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
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!!
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.
The batch isn’t huge, but I’m making them for a family of 6 so we always eat them all.
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?
These look amazing!
Hi can you tell me the total carb content for this recipe please?
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.
Mande – I’ve never had a problem with them sticking. So sorry!
Amazing pancakes ? my kids loved these !!! Thank you for an amazing protein pancake recipe !!! ?
This looks really delicious – will give this a try. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I loved these pancakes. I made a batch and froze them. I use sugar free syrup and blueberries on them.
Sounds delicious Michele! I’m so glad you loved them.
My kids loved these !!! Thank you for an amazing protein
