Ingredients
  

Pancakes
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
Toppings
  • Fresh berries optional
  • Maple syrup optional

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until well combined and slightly smooth.
  2. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix, as some lumps are fine.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter or oil.
  2. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface, leaving some space between them.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, then flip and cook the other side.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
Serving
  1. Serve the cottage cheese pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries or maple syrup.

Notes

You can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. For a richer flavor, use full-fat cottage cheese. These pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a microwave or on a griddle.
