Make These Pancakes Your Own
These peach pancakes are super versatile! Here are some of my favorite ways to customize them to fit your taste and dietary needs.
- Gluten-Free Option: Make sure to use certified gluten-free oats.
- Cottage Cheese: You can use fat-free, low-fat, or full-fat cottage cheese in this recipe!
- Milk Options: Unsweetened almond milk is my go-to, but feel free to use oat milk, cashew milk, 1% milk, non-fat milk, or your milk of choice.
How To Make Peach Pancakes
Step 1: Add the rolled oats to a blender.
Then, blend until they turn into fine oat flour.
Step 2: Add the baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, sweetener, almond milk, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, egg, and peach (pit and skin removed) to the blender.
Next, blend until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Lightly spray a non-stick pan with oil and heat over medium. Pour the batter into the pan to form pancakes about 3-4 inches wide.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Cook until golden and fully cooked through.
Step 4: Slice or dice the second peach. Top the warm pancakes with the fresh peach pieces, a drizzle of maple syrup or sugar-free syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Top your peach pancakes with fresh peach slices, a drizzle of maple syrup or sugar-free syrup, creamy Greek yogurt, chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans for crunch, a sprinkle of granola, or a dollop of cottage cheese. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg adds a warm touch.
We like to serve these pancakes alongside protein coffee or a refreshing green protein smoothie. For another option, pair them with a cottage cheese fruit bowl, a slice of cottage cheese quiche or cottage cheese egg bake, or protein-packed cottage cheese scrambled eggs!
Shawna’s Expert Tips
- Use Ripe Peaches: The riper the peach, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be.
- Blend the Oats: For a smooth batter, blend the rolled oats into a fine oat flour before adding the rest of the ingredients. Or, you can use store-bought oat flour if you have it.
- Remove Peach Skin: Peach skin can be tough and affect the batter’s smooth texture. Removing it helps ensure your pancakes turn out light and tender. You can leave the skin on if you don’t mind a bit of texture in the batter.
- Don’t Over-Crowd the Pan: Cook the pancakes in batches to avoid uneven cooking or difficulty flipping.
- Adjust Batter Thickness: If your batter is too thick after blending, add a splash of milk. If it’s too thin, let it sit for a few minutes to thicken up, oats naturally absorb liquid.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover peach pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
