Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour for a healthier option)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and sugar. Stir until combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients:
    Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until a thick batter forms. Some cottage cheese curds are okay — they add to the texture.
  3. Heat the Pan:
    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  4. Cook Pancakes:
    Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve Warm:
    Serve stacked with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt or more cottage cheese.

Tip: These pancakes are protein-rich and great for breakfast or brunch!
