Flour free pancakes are the a delicious and healthy breakfast recipe. They’re filling and a great way to start the day. These can easily be made into dairy free pancakes by omitting the cottage cheese and adding in a banana instead.
We don’t have any super picky eaters but I don’t always get to make one recipe that the whole family will love that lines up with my 21 Day Fix meal plans. Lucky for me these flour free pancakes are a great option.
These gluten free pancakes are an awesome source of protein and thanks to the oatmeal, these flour free pancakes are still plenty hearty and delicious. It’s fun to experiment with toppings like peanut butter, fresh fruit, or cinnamon butter!
I’ve also included the directions for making these into waffles. My flour free pancake batter is versatile and holds up well as a flavorful waffle if you prefer them that way.
How to make flour free pancakes
Wait until you see how easy these are! I love making breakfast recipes in my blender because I can just dump, blend, pour, and go. It’s less clean up, it’s less work for me, and everything comes out perfectly mixed. No lumps here!
You could also use a food processor for this recipe–the key to beautiful pancakes is to get your batter to be nice and smooth. If it’s not, your pancakes will still taste delicious–they’ll just look a little lumpy because of the oatmeal and cottage cheese.

I see EVOO in the ingredients list but not in the recipe?? Thanks!
Becca says
Ack!! Just added it–it goes in with the rest of the ingredients. Thanks for pointing out my error!
Danielle says
Hi, these look great, can’t wait to give them a try! Two questions for you.
1) What is the serving size? How many pancakes qualify as a serving?
2) Can this recipe be done without eggs?
Becca says
Hi Danielle! I can’t tell you how big a serving size is because we all make them different sizes, so divide the recipe in 4–that is your serving! With the eggs, I haven’t made this without eggs, I’d be hesitant to!
Mari says
Yum! Would it work with full fat cottage cheese and non gluten free oats?! Thanks😊
Becca says
Yes!
Amber says
Can ricotta be used instead of cottage cheese?
Becca says
Yes!
