Protein pancakes are one of those recipes I’ve spent way too much time trying to perfect. They always seem to turn out too dry, too spongy, or just... not like pancakes at all. And don’t even get me started on when they stick to the pan and become a total mess.
I finally found a go-to protein pancake recipe that actually works—but this one? Even better. It’s foolproof, thanks to the Foodspring Pancake Mix (Code PATRIFSG for 15% off), which makes the process way easier and pretty much guarantees perfect pancakes every time. No more trial and error, just fluffy, golden goodness!

Tips & Substitutions:
Want extra protein? Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the cottage cheese filling.
Extra crunch? Toasted almonds or crushed nuts work great on top.
No blender? Just mix the cottage cheese really well with a fork—it won’t be as smooth, but still tasty.
No Foodspring Pancake Mix? Use any protein pancake mix or homemade pancakes.
No cottage cheese? Try Greek yogurt for a tangier filling.
No blueberries? Swap for raspberries, blackberries, or even chopped peaches.
