Delicious and fluffy pancakes made with cottage cheese that are protein-packed and quick to prepare, making them a perfect breakfast choice for the whole family.
Ingredients
For the Pancakes
- 1 cup cottage cheese Choose a smooth variety for better texture.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Whole wheat can be used for a healthier option.
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar Adjust based on preference.
- Butter or oil for frying Choose your preferred cooking fat.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese, flour, eggs, baking powder, salt, and sugar until just combined, making sure not to overmix the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the bottom.
Cooking
- Pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size; cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, like fresh fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup, and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking. Substitute all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend if necessary. You can also use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a different flavor. For a healthier twist, try cooking the pancakes in an air fryer at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
