Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (drained slightly)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup oats or flour (gluten-free oats or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)
  • Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (for extra protein boost)
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg (for spiced flavor)

Blueberry Collagen Jelly

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 12 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 12 tablespoons collagen powder (flavorless, hydrolyzed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Collagen Jelly: Combine blueberries, lemon juice, and honey in a saucepan over low heat. Gently heat until the berries break down, releasing their juices. Remove from heat and stir in collagen powder until fully dissolved. Let the jelly cool to thicken while preparing the pancakes.
  2. Mix the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, oats or flour, pinch of salt, and any optional ingredients like sweetener, protein powder, or spices. Break up the cottage cheese well to create a smooth batter with some texture but avoid overmixing.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it. Pour spoonfuls of batter to form small to medium-sized pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook until both sides are golden brown. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Place cooked pancakes on a plate and generously spoon blueberry collagen jelly over the top. Add fresh blueberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or garnish with mint leaves, chia seeds, or crushed nuts for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Drain cottage cheese slightly to reduce excess moisture for fluffier pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain tender, light pancakes.
  • Cook pancakes on low to medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Allow the collagen jelly to cool and thicken before serving for best texture and flavor.
  • Store pancakes and jelly separately to keep them fresh and avoid sogginess.
