Oatmeal and Cottage Cheese Pancakes

This morning I discovered day old cottage cheese and a little bit of milk that was 2 days past its sell-by date. I don’t know how either of them were overlooked. They both passed the sniff check. Then I was brave and did the taste test and again they both passed. So I decided to use them up immediately!

Ingredients:

2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal (I use certified gluten-free oats)
1 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions:

Place all of the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. If your blender stops making progress, turn it off and use a spoon to get things moving to mix things a little. Replace lid and resume blending. When the batter is blended it will look like this: August2010 555
Coat a skillet or griddle in oil. Pour the batter into 3 – 4 inch circles. Cook over a medium heat. Cook the first side until it is brown and then flip and finish cooking the other side until the pancake is cooked all the way through.August2010 556 Since they are denser than normal pancakes they take a minute or two longer to cook. I take a core sample on one of the pancakes before I remove them from the griddle. 

Makes 6 – 8 pancakes. I don’t recommend doubling this recipe. If you need more, make a second batch.August2010 560
It is easy to impress a 3 year old with a pancake smiley face. Seventeen year olds are not so easily amused.

    I’ve made cottage cheese oatmeal pancakes before, and I doubled that recipe, and it turned out just fine. So I’m curious, why don’t you recommend doubling your recipe?

    I wonder if I could make this work in a food processor. I don't have a real blender and sometimes doing stuff like this with the stick blender isn't worth the effort *L*

    I think I'll give it a try!

    Alea,
    I've never had oatmeal pancakes before sounds good and yet healthy at the same time. I'm going to try them this morning.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
