Cottage cheese packs more protein per calorie than almost any other whole food, but nobody wants curdy texture in their pancakes. Every recipe below blends it completely smooth first — you get the protein, not the cottage cheese taste.
Curds are the single biggest reason people avoid cottage cheese recipes. A high-speed blender or food processor breaks them down completely in under a minute, leaving behind the moisture and protein without any lumpy texture — that's the technique behind every recipe on this page.
