Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Fluffy, protein-packed pancakes blended in one bowl and topped with fresh berries. A sweet breakfast that actually keeps you going.

Why this works on GLP-1

Sweet breakfasts are often low in protein, which is a problem on GLP-1 medication where getting enough protein early is key to protecting lean muscle during weight loss. Blending cottage cheese and eggs into the batter turns pancakes into a genuinely high-protein meal, so you get the treat without the sugar crash.

The oats add a little fibre and structure, and the berries bring natural sweetness and colour for very few calories. The result is a comforting breakfast that stays satisfying, made in one blender with barely any effort.

Ingredients · makes 1 serving

Cottage cheesePlain 200 g
EggsLarge 2
Rolled oatsBlend to a flour, or use oat flour 40 g
Mixed berriesFresh or frozen, to top 80 g
Avocado oilA little, for the pan 1 tsp
OptionalVanilla, cinnamon, a little sweetener, or baking powder for lift to taste

Method

Blend the batter. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, and any vanilla, cinnamon, or a pinch of baking powder to a blender. Blend until smooth, then let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken.
Fry the pancakes. Warm a little avocado oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon in small rounds of batter and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form on top and the underside is golden.
Flip and finish. Flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until set and golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm.
Serve. Stack the pancakes and top with the berries. Add a little extra cinnamon or a small drizzle of honey if you like, and eat slowly to gauge fullness on a reduced appetite.
