High Protein Crepes

3 ingredients. No flour. Pancakes that actually fuel you. FLOURLESS COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES RECIPE High-Protein | No Flour | Quick Breakfast or Snack Quick Description: These flourless cottage cheese pancakes are soft, crepe-like, and naturally high in protein. Made with just 3 ingredients, they’re the perfect fuel for mornings, snacks, or dessert — minus the bloat and carb crash. Servings & Nutrition: Yield: ~6 pancakes Prep Time: 3 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Total Time: ~13 minutes Protein (per 2 pancakes): ~18–20g Carbs: ~4–5g WW Points: ~2–3 per serving (depends on sugar used) Ingredients: 200g cottage cheese (~¾ cup, small curd or whipped) 2 large eggs 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener (optional) Optional Flavors: 1 tsp vanilla extract Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg Zest of lemon or orange 1–2 tbsp protein powder (vanilla or unflavored) Optional Toppings & Fillings: Greek yogurt, nut butter, sugar-free jam Cream cheese + berries Cocoa drizzle + crushed nuts Instructions: 1. Blend the Batter Add cottage cheese, eggs, and sugar to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and pourable. 2. Heat the Pan Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter. 3. Cook the Pancakes Pour 2–3 tbsp batter per pancake into the pan. Use the back of a spoon to spread into a thin circle. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping gently once edges lift easily. 4. Fill or Stack & Serve Roll with your favorite filling or stack and top with fruit, syrup, or cream. Variations: Savory Version: Skip sugar, add salt, herbs, and fill with smoked salmon or avocado. Chocolate Pancakes: Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder + sugar-free chocolate chips. Protein Boost: Add 1 scoop vanilla whey or plant protein to batter. Tips: Don’t skip blending — it smooths the curds for a crepe-like texture. Use medium-low heat to prevent burning and allow gentle browning. If the batter is too thick, thin it with 1–2 tbsp almond milk. Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days, stacked with parchment between. Reheat in a nonstick skillet or microwave for 30 seconds. Freezes well — roll with filling, freeze, and toast later!
