These Lemon Blueberry Cottage Cheese Crepes are light, protein-packed, and naturally gluten-free. The cottage cheese blends into a smooth batter that cooks into thin, tender crepes with a bright lemon flavor. Top them with fresh blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup for a simple and satisfying breakfast.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 crepes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour or oat flour
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries for serving
  • Butter for greasing the skillet

Instructions

  1. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, lemon zest, and maple syrup to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 30 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no curds remaining.
  2. Pour the blended liquid into a mixing bowl. Stir in the flour until you have a smooth, pourable batter. If the batter is too thick, stir in an extra tablespoon of milk.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small pat of butter.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the hot skillet, immediately swirling the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter into a thin layer. Cook for 2 minutes until the edges are golden and begin to curl up. Carefully flip and cook the other side for 1 minute.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the crepes warm, rolled or folded, stuffed with fresh blueberries and a light drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use a high-speed blender to get a fully smooth batter with no cottage cheese lumps.
  • Oat flour works well as a substitute for gluten-free flour in this recipe.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking if it seems too thin.
  • Keep finished crepes warm in a low oven at 200 degrees F while you cook the rest.
  • Store leftover crepes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat.
  • You can swap blueberries for sliced strawberries, raspberries, or a mix of your favorite berries.
