Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for keto; low-fat for WW/SW)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp sweetener (monk fruit, stevia, erythritol, or sugar-free syrup)
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup rolled oats (Regular/WW/SW) or 1 cup almond flour/½ cup coconut flour (Low-Carb/Keto)
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries (⅓ cup for keto)
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups. This ensures the pancake bites won’t stick and will bake evenly.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating a creamy batter base.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Depending on your dietary preference, stir in rolled oats if using the regular or WW/SW version. For a low-carb or keto option, fold in almond flour or coconut flour instead. This adjusts the texture and nutritional profile accordingly.
  4. Fold in Blueberries and Leavening: Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries along with the baking powder, mixing just until combined to ensure fluffy, tender bites with bursts of blueberry flavor.
  5. Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. This allows room for the pancake bites to rise without overflowing.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden. This cooking time ensures the interior is cooked through while maintaining moistness.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the pancake bites cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them. Serve warm for the best taste or store them for a convenient, make-ahead snack or breakfast option.

Notes

  • For keto-friendly version, use full-fat cottage cheese and reduce blueberries to ⅓ cup.
  • Use preferred sweetener to fit your dietary needs and taste preferences.
  • Paper liners make cleanup easier and prevent sticking; alternatively, grease the tin well.
  • These pancake bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
  • Reheat gently in a microwave or oven before serving.
