If there’s one breakfast my toddler can’t get enough of, it’s these Whole Wheat Cottage Cheese Pancakes! Soft, fluffy, and packed with protein, they’re a nutritious and delicious way to start the day. Plus, they come together quickly in the blender, making them a go-to for busy mornings.
After making my toddler cottage cheese pancakes for the first time, I knew it wouldn’t be the last! She loved them so much she ate 4 for a snack! Call me a pancake mom of a pancake loving toddler. I love making pancakes for my two year old though! I have another cottage cheese pancake recipe that’s made with all purpose flour. There’s minor changes between these two recipes.
Why You’ll Love These Pancakes
- High in Protein – Thanks to the cottage cheese and eggs, these pancakes keep little tummies full longer.
- Toddler-Approved – The texture is soft, making them easy to chew, and they have a naturally sweet taste that kids love.
- Quick & Easy – Everything goes into the blender, meaning minimal prep and easy cleanup.
- Whole Grain Goodness – Using whole wheat flour adds fiber and keeps the pancakes more nutritious
Make-Ahead & Freezer Tips
As a mom of two, I love meals that I can batch-prep. These pancakes freeze beautifully! Just let them cool, stack them with parchment paper in between, and store them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to serve, pop them in the toaster or microwave for a quick and healthy breakfast.
Hidden Nutrition Boosts
If you love sneaking extra nutrients into your toddler’s meals, try blending in some mashed banana, a handful of spinach, or even a tablespoon of ground flaxseed for added fiber and omega-3s.
These Whole Wheat Cottage Cheese Pancakes are a breakfast win—quick, nutritious, and loved by little hands. Try them out, and let me know if your toddler asks for seconds too!
