High Protein Sheet Pancake Bake

Servings 8
Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 cups milk or milk alternative
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 cups protein pancake mix

Optional Toppings

  • chocolate chips
  • sprinkles
  • blueberries
  • strawberries
  • freeze-dried fruit

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Blend cottage cheese with a blender. (You can add a little of your milk if the mixture is too thick for your blender.) Alternatively, you can use cottage cheese as is but the pancakes will have an uneven texture.
  • In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together with a whisk until smooth.
  • Grease a rimmed baking sheet with butter or spray oil.
  • Pour pancake batter evenly into the pan.
  • Top with any desired toppings. (Highly recommend adding toppings for each member of the house!)
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until brown and cooked through. (The cottage cheese provides a lot of moisture, so these pancakes will be doughier than typical cake-like pancake.)
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting. Cut into 16 squares and 2 squares is one serving.

How to Use
Athletes: You will likely need to add more carbs here - try maple syrup, fruit, or some juice on the side. If you need more protein, add a side of eggs/egg whites, Greek yogurt, or lean breakfast meat.
Healthy Eating: This is a great, balanced breakfast - add a side of berries for some color.
Kids: My kids loved choosing their own toppings and pairing them with a side of fruit.
Other Thoughts
  • These pancakes have more moisture than your typical pancake, thanks to the addition of cottage cheese and extra milk. (yay protein!) But this means that the texture is a little different. Let them rest for 5 - 10 minutes out of the oven, and then they will firm up.
  • Storage is important for making leftovers delicious! I do not recommend freezing these pancakes. But, if you do not eat them all at once, place them in the fridge and reheat them in the toaster.
