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
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Stir until well blended.
- 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.)
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Drop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Spread slightly if needed.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
