Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet flavor)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese and eggs. Mix well until mostly smooth (you can also blend if you prefer a smoother texture). - Add Dry Ingredients:
Add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix. - Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. - Cook the Pancakes:
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on one side, until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden brown. - Serve Warm:
Serve warm with maple syrup, fruit, honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
Tip: These pancakes are protein-packed and freeze well. Great for breakfast meal prep!
