Gluten Free Protein Pancakes
If you’re looking for a gluten-free, high-protein breakfast that the whole family will love, these pancakes are perfect! They’re simple to make, packed with protein, and gluten-free, ensuring you get the nutrition you need while keeping the kids happy.
Our kids absolutely love these pancakes—especially with a drizzle of maple syrup—but they’re just as delicious with butter or eaten plain.
We make these every weekend, and save the batter to make more pancakes on busy mornings. They’re a staple in our household!

Gluten Free Protein Pancakes: A Kid-Friendly Favorite
Ingredients:
• 1 cup gluten-free oats (we like these – you can also find them at Costco)
• 1 heaping cup cottage cheese
• 9 eggs (1.5 cups; using egg whites is an option, but using whole eggs adds more protein and healthy fats)
• 1 Tbsp Truvia (or your preferred sweetener)
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
Instructions:
1. Blend the Base Ingredients: Start by adding the gluten-free oats, cottage cheese, and eggs into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
2. Add the Flavor and Lift: Once blended, add in the Truvia, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Blend briefly to mix everything together.
3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a pan over medium heat and pour the batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Cook until the edges are set and bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden and done through.
