These cottage cheese blueberry pancakes are great for your weekly meal prep. So delicious!
This was such a strange weekend. Other than going to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy a new food processor (I broke one that a follower sent me 🙁 ) wherein I was the only person in the store. I literally walked in, walked to the aisle where the food processors were, picked the one I wanted, walked to the register, paid and was back in my car in less than five minutes.
So naturally I spend a lot of time in my kitchen. Although I did give up the space for Jacob to make his famous soup – you can check it out here. It’s chock full of onions but his broth is amazeballs.
Since I’ve had my Butcher Box for the last four weeks, I’ve only spent $91 at the grocery store in those weeks. I am still doing a #pantrychallenge – basically using the stuff I have on hand instead of going out and buying more stuff. I still haven’t figured out how to organize my pantry, and it frustrates Hannah to no end. She basically thinks I have too much stuff and well, she’s right!
These cottage cheese pancakes were created using a pantry staple – oats! Mariano‘s was fully stocked yesterday. I was shocked because Hannah and Jacob went to Walmart on Saturday and sent me pictures of rows upon rows of empty shelves. Especially the water and paper goods aisles.
I saw people post pictures that the only proteins left in their store was chicken livers – ew! Mariano’s was fully stocked!
So I was able to pick up blueberries for these pancakes.

My office is still open. All the schools are closed for the corona virus, my sisters office is closed until April 4. All bars and restaurants are reduced to carry out only. So crazy. Be safe out there!
Make it a great day!
So sorry, but am I missing where the nutritional info is? I’m not on WW so I can’t click the link. Thanks!
Hey – not sure why the calories weren’t posting, but I fixed it. It’s in the recipe card – thanks!
So excited to try these! Thanks for posting again on IG!
They are so good! 😀
These were delicious, never would of thought to put cottage cheese in pancakes but this is a game changer!! Blending It makes a huge difference. Thank you so much for all the great recipes.
Yeah! Do glad you liked them – once blended, no one would know there was cottage cheese in there.
I have just made these and they are AMAZING!!!!!… I thinned the batter down with a little un-sweetened almond milk… and they made 5 single pancakes so 2 points each on blue..
I am going to add some stewed cinnamon apple over the top and warm them up for desert tonight.. They are seriously delicious!!
Thank you so much for the recipe!!
That’s awesome Chris! Thank you for letting me know!
That’s awesome! I am so happy!
I just made these and because I didnt have a blender, I just mixed them vey well. I guess it made a huge difference because they were horrible!! I noticed the blueberries weren’t in the ingredients and the pictures show them sprinkled on top. If you put them in the blender, they would have broken down and turned the batter blue. A little confusing. Maybe I’ll try them again with a blender but blueberries have to go on only after tasting! I still am looking forward to trying some of your other recipes. This was my first. Also, I measured 1/3 cups but the pancake was so thick and big that I had a hard time cooking it through. Guess this was a “what not to do” try. Does it thin out the batter much more if I blend them? It was very thick. I could have made 6 good size pancakes. This entire recipe is 8 ww points on blue program. Thanks
Hi! Blending the cottage cheese in a blender does make all the difference – it’s almost smooth like sour cream. I will fix the directions – yes anytime you add fruit to the batter it will discolor it. These are thick pancakes, but you could thin them out a bit with almond milk if you prefer. Thanks for your input!
Had these for breakfast this morning and my husband still keeps asking me-cottage cheese, really??
I’ve made your SPD three times this past month and we finally made pizzas last night, Yum! We have been using it to make rolls for dinner and I’ve been eating like I’ve never heard of WW and have forgotten that I’m a Type1 diabetic. Tomorrow is a new day! Thanks for all your great recipes and mostly for keeping me entertained!
Thank you so much Jody! Sorry your message got caught in my spam folder – it will show up now that I have proven you aren’t a robot!
Hugs!
Sounds amazing! How many blueberries do you put in? And do you think I can use frozen?
Hi! I used 1/2 a cup, but feel free to add as many as you like. You can definitely use frozen blueberries but it may die the batter purple – they would still taste good though!
I like the recipe. I never saw a pancake recipe that was oats & cottage cheese. I may have to try this. A good source of protein I would guess.
You won’t be able to taste the cottage cheese – promise! 😀
Looks so yummy!! It’s 8 pts on Blue. I’ll try it on a special breakfast day. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you Kimberly!!
Making these tonight! Breakfast for dinner 😍
Yes! So good – promise you won’t know there is cottage cheese in there.
They were AMAZING!!!!
