Cottage Cheese Pancakes: A Family Favorite Breakfast!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd works best)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with oat flour for a healthier version)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener (optional)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Stir until well blended.
  2. Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, and optional sugar/vanilla. Mix until a thick batter forms. (It’s okay if it’s slightly lumpy from the cottage cheese.)
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  4. Drop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Spread slightly if needed.
  5. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
