I really want to make this recipe for cottage cheese pancakes tomorrow morning:

1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup cottage cheese
4 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla

However, the recipe says to blend all the ingredients into a batter, but I don't want to wake everyone up in the morning with the blending blaring. Could I make the batter tonight and hold in the fridge until morning or will it turn funky?

    More so saving because I've never heard about this and it sounds intriguing!

    To be honest, I never used to batter. I usually use two forks, and keep turning it. You should do it in the AM. Regardless ,they are going to wake up to the delicious smell.

    The ingredient I'd be most worried about is the eggs, but Rose Levy Beranbaum in her book The Pie and Pastry Bible says egg whites will keep in your refrigerator for ten days.

    After that might be the cottage cheese, but as we know, that keeps quite a while in the fridge.

    Everything else should be okay, I'd say.

    You can store any pancake batter overnight but I would try cooking a small batch tonight and then cook it tomorrow to see if you can tell whether or not there is a difference in taste.

    My concern is that with eggwhites the point of it cooking it right away is for it to be fluffy. They might get flat if you store it overnight. You can try adding a teaspoon of baking soda or baking powder to it.

    To be honest - if you tilt a regular bowl slightly to the side, and then whisk fast with a fork, you pretty much get the same bubbles than with a blender.
    I've always done it that way with most things. My nan and mum taught me to cook that way, and I'm not changing :P

    since there's no baking soda, it should be ok. The worst case scenario is they will be less "fluffy" once cooked because the egg whites will absorb air and get foamy in the blender, then the air will release in the fridge overnight... that's assuming they're meant to be fluffy, without flour they might not be meant to.

    I made a similar recipe last weekend (only difference was Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese) and I mixed it with a fork. It came out great! I don't think you'll really need the blender. Even a whisk would work, I bet.

    Just curious--Are you using quick oats?

    And I agree on the egg point--they should be whipped up fresh to make the pancakes fluffy. Can you take the blender into the garage? :laugh:

    I've made these at least 20 times!!! i found the recipe on a fitness website and ever since the first time I've had them me and my boyfriend can't get enough. I've blended it a few times. most the time i just mixed it with a wooden spoon. the oatmeal and cottage cheese make the texture of the pancakes amazing., much better than regular pancakes! it's by far my favorite healthy breakfast recipe. i usually add cinnamon and a no calorie sweetener. i also sometimes eat them with peanut butter and banana slices.

    Why don't you want to wake everyone up? Are these just for you? If you're cooking for everyone, they ought to be up anyway because pancakes don't take very long to cook.

    It seems you should be able to mix tonight as dry oats aren't much different than flour base
