Cottage cheese pancakes are a delightful and healthy breakfast option, perfect for those who want to add a little extra protein to their morning meal. These pancakes are light, fluffy, and slightly tangy from the cottage cheese, making them both satisfying and delicious.They pair wonderfully with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Blend the cottage cheese and eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until well combined. The mixture will be slightly lumpy from the cheese, which adds texture to the pancakes.
- Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Drop ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, syrup, or honey.
Enjoy your cottage cheese pancakes warm and fluffy!
