This post is sponsored by Shamrock Foods, and as always, all opinions are my own!
Hello friends! I’m so happy to be partnering with my friends at Arizona’s local home town dairy company, Shamrock, to bring you these delicious pancakes today! If you’ve been following for a while you know that I love partnering with Shamrock foods for fun events like the wing contest I attended last fall with Mr. Hungry, the D-backs game I went to UBER pregnant for Shamrock’s alliance with St. Mary’s Food Bank, these healthy creamsicle popsicles and more!
Today I’m excited to share that Shamrock Farms cottage cheese and sour cream have a fun, bold new look, but the same delicious and handcrafted taste that we all love.
Personally, Shamrock Farms cottage cheese has been a staple in my kitchen for years. It’s locally handcrafted, made with a hands-on approach that has been passed down for three generations. Their cottage cheese is madewith pure, fresh Shamrock Farms milk, and it’s high in bone-building calcium and protein for a delicious difference you can taste.
Shamrock Farms cottage cheese is packed with protein and low in calories and carbs with no added sugar. Plus, it’s very versatile. I use it cooking all the time or for just a delicious high protein snack. For more ideas, check out these 20+ new ways to eat cottage cheese, I shared a few years ago and look for more recipes (including these pancakes) on Shamrock Foods blog!
But, these oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes are the BEST thing I’ve ever done with Shamrock cottage cheese. The addition of just a tiny bit of Shamrock sour cream makes them taste like fluffy buttermilk pancakes, but are way better for you! And we just love fresh summer blueberries in our house, so I threw some of those in too!
Shamrock foods cottage cheese is available in original and low-fat varieties (I tested both with this recipe, and they both work great!) Look for Roxie and Shamrock’s signature green lid in your dairy case. Visit www.ShamrockFarms.net/coupons to save $1 on any two Shamrock products.

How to Make Blueberry Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancakes
This recipe is the easiest thing ever. Just blend all the ingredients and start making pancakes! That’s it!
I don’t have a fancy pancake griddle, so I find that slow and steady is the way to go. I sprayed the skillet with avocado oil, then I used 1/2 cup batter per pancake, and finally, I plopped in some frozen blueberries after I poured the batter in my skillet.
Flip your pancake when the side down is golden brown, and the side up has just started to bubble. I also find it helps to wipe out the skillet if you make more than one batch! Like I said, though, these pancakes are easy peasy, plus they are freezer friendly! I topped ours with plain old maple syrup and butter for a classic taste you can not beat!
Let’s talk ingredients:
Cottage Cheese – do not omit, but you can use low fat or original Shamrock Cottage Cheese
Oats – You can use rolled oats or quick oats. Do not substitute or omit.
Eggs – You can probably use a flax eggs or chia eggs substitute in place of eggs, but I haven’t tried it. If you try it please leave a comment and let us know how it turns out!
Sour Cream – 100% optional, if you don’t want to use it, just omit it
Baking powder – do not omit
Vanilla extract – optional, but adds a nice flavor
Blueberries – you can omit or sub other berries or even chocolate chips!
That’s it! Enjoy friends, and let me know if you try this one!

Is the 26 carbs for 1 pancakes or all 3?
Thank you,

It’s for two pancakes! The recipe makes 6 pancakes, and each serving is for 2 pancakes. Hope that helps!

I have substituted applesauce for eggs in some of my baked goods. Do you think that will work for these pancakes?

Kelli Shallal MPH RD says
I honestly don’t think because pancakes need eggs for some lift. But what you could try is doing applesauce sub and adding a little baking powder.

Let me know how it went! I was also thinking of subbing the egg for a flax egg for nutrition since my son (the one with the egg allergy) already gets a good amount of applesauce in pouches

Amazing! Mine came out thick but oh so tasty and so much better than the boxed stuff and white flour. I may have to use this as a base and try other things like bananas, chocolate chips, or cinnamon. Maybe pumpkin…or nutmeg…Reply

Yes! It’s super versatile!

Halved this recipe since it’s just for me and I was left with two nicely-sized, delicious pancakes. I didn’t have any blueberries either so instead for a sweet bite I added some cinnamon. So good!Reply

Not enough liquid in this recipe. My blender would not mix the ingredients it was so dry! Sounded like a good recipe but flopped
