This giant fluffy pancake is insane – 30 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber??
And it only takes 10 minutes to whip up?
Yessir.
Just throw the ingredients in the blender, give it a quick whir, then cook like you would any other pancake. I like making one giant pancake, but you could also make a few smaller ones if you’re more the short stack type.
Fluffy High Protein Pancake (Gluten free, high fiber)
Equipment
- 1 blender
- 1 skillet (I use cast iron)
Ingredients
- .5 cups lowfat cottage cheese
- 2 each eggs
- .5 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp glucomannan (aka: konjac powder) (optional)
- .5 tsp avocado oil (or cooking spray)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except the avocado oil to a high powdered blender. Blend on low until combined, then gradually increase the speed until the mixture is thick and perfecly smooth.
- Add avocado oil or cooking spray to skillet and heat over medium heat until hot (I flick a little water on it and when it beads up and sizzles, the pan is ready)
- Pour the batter into the pan and cook for a few minutes, until bubbles start to form on the surface.
- Carefully flip the pancake over and cook until the second side is nicely browned
- Transfer to a plate and add toppings of choice!

Nutrition
So many of us are trying to get more protein and fiber into our diet these days, but some of us (ahem 🙋♀️) also don’t want to give up our carby favorites or feel like we’re eating cardboard.
This, my friends, is the closest it gets to a “real” high carb, flour based pancake with a much more balanced blend of macronutrients. Specifically, way more protein and fiber and a regular pancake could hope to provide.
