Ingredients in these Flour Free Pancakes
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Banana or Cottage cheese: Both make delicious pancakes, use the one you prefer or the one you ave on hand!I If using the cottage cheese, you’ll blend it first so you won’t feel any chunks in your pancakes. Be sure to use 2%.
- Oatmeal: Oats are incredibly nutritious, full of antioxidants, and are known to lower cholesterol.
- Vanilla: Be sure to grab pure vanilla extract. Imitation vanilla and bakers vanilla usually contain sugar and artificial flavors.
How to make Flour Free Pancakes
Step 1: Preheat your skillet by coating with nonstick cooking spray over medium heat.
Prepare batter by adding eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, olive oil, cottage cheese or banana, and oats to your belnder. Blend on high until smooth. If using a banana instead of the cottage cheese, add your mashed banana.
Step 2: Cook your pancakes by using a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour batter onto your preheated skillet. Let cook on one side until it is full of bubbles and the edges start to dry, then flip your pancake and cook for an additional minute. Repeat until all of the batter is gone.
Top hot pancakes with butter, maple syrup, or fruit. My personal favorite is peanut butter, bananas, and maple syrup.
Recipe Tips:
- If you’d like to freeze these, I recommend allowing them to cool completely first and freezing in a single layer inside of freezer bags. After they’re frozen, you can stack them together.
- These will keep for 5-6 days in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer if you’re making them for meal prep.
- You can add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for special pancakes. Remember that anything you add in will sink to the bottom, so scoop your batter from the bottom when making these.

You can swap the olive oil out for coconut or avocado oil if you’d like – they cook the same in this recipe.
You can! Adding 1/2 tsp of baking powder will make these pancakes a bit fluffier.

I haven’t tried that but I definitely would :)

I’ve never tried it this way :)
How many points on WW green plan would this be with a banana?
Bananas are free on green :)
I appreciated this diabetic friendly recipe. Finally, a pancake I can eat! Thank you.
Does the container count changer if you use the banana instead of cottage cheese?
Yes! You’d remove one red from the container count and add in one purple, divided by the servings.
Can you freeze these?
Absolutely!
Can ricotta be used instead of cottage cheese?
Yes!
Yum! Would it work with full fat cottage cheese and non gluten free oats?! Thanks😊
Yes!
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?
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!
I see EVOO in the ingredients list but not in the recipe?? Thanks!
Ack!! Just added it–it goes in with the rest of the ingredients. Thanks for pointing out my error!
