Hormone Healthy Cottage Cheese Crepes

Navigating perimenopause can feel like a rollercoaster—hello mood swings, fatigue, and unexpected changes!

But here’s the good news: food is one of your most powerful tools for feeling like yourself again. When you fuel your body with the right ingredients, you support hormone harmony, boost energy, and help balance blood sugar naturally.

That’s why I love recipes like these Cottage Cheese Strawberry Crepes. They’re light, delicious, and loaded with ingredients that truly nourish your body from the inside out. Whether you’re starting your day with them or treating yourself to a hormone-supportive brunch, these crepes are more than just a pretty plate.

Why This Recipe Supports Hormone Health in Perimenopause

Perimenopause is a time of hormonal shifts—especially declining progesterone and fluctuating estrogen. One way to support your body during this transition is by focusing on foods that help balance blood sugar, provide quality protein, and feed your gut (which plays a major role in hormone metabolism!).

This recipe checks all those boxes:

Eggs & cottage cheese offer high-quality protein that supports blood sugar stability and provides the building blocks for hormone production.

Rolled oats are a source of complex carbs and soluble fiber, which supports healthy digestion and gut health.

Strawberries provide antioxidants and vitamin C, both of which reduce inflammation and support collagen production.

Greek yogurt adds probiotics to help support gut health.

Best of all? It tastes amazing and keeps you full and satisfied without the crash.

Cottage Cheese Strawberry Crepes

Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 20 minutes | Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• • 1 cup cottage cheese

• • 4 eggs

• • ¾ cup rolled oats

• • 1 tsp vanilla extract

• • 1½ tsp baking powder

• • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

• • 1 tbsp avocado oil

• • ½ cup strawberries (for topping)

• • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (for topping)

Directions:

1. 1. Blend: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, vanilla extract, baking powder, and maple syrup (if using) to a blender. Blend on high until the batter is smooth. It will be fairly thin.

1. 1. Cook: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with avocado oil. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the pan, immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly and thinly.

1. 1. Flip: Cook until edges are slightly brown and the surface appears bubbly (30–60 seconds). Flip gently and cook for another 30–60 seconds. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining batter.

1. 1. Serve: This recipe makes about 6 crepes. Divide into two servings and top with fresh strawberries and Greek yogurt. You can roll them up or fold them—either way, they’re delicious!

Pro Tips:

Add extra fiber: Sprinkle with hemp seeds for gut-loving fiber and healthy fats.

Dairy-free option: Use unsweetened coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

Meal prep tip: Make a batch of crepes and store in the fridge for up to 3 days for an easy, hormone-healthy breakfast or snack.
