Description
Fluffy, protein-packed cottage cheese pancakes with a creamy texture and slightly tangy flavor! These easy, nutritious pancakes are perfect for a healthy breakfast or brunch. Made with simple ingredients, they’re naturally high in protein, with a gluten-free option available.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until just combined.
- Mix in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract. The batter will be thick.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Drop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use oat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- Add cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.
