Description

These easy cottage cheese pancakes are high in protein, but still have the classic pancakes taste and texture that you love!

Ingredients

1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 tbsp melted butter or oil
2 tbsp milk of choice
1 tbsp maple syrup, honey, or sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (Optional)

Directions

1
Add all liquid ingredients to a blender: cottage cheese, eggs, milk, butter/oil, and maple syrup. Blend on high until smooth (30 seconds).
2
In a bowl, combine the liquid mixture with the all purpose flour and baking powder. Mix gently until just combined. Try not to overmix.
3
Heat a non stick or cast iron skillet on medium heat for a few minutes. Once preheated, melt a little butter or oil on the pan and add pancake batter using 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Add any mixins you desire such as chocolate chips, blueberries, or walnuts. Adjust the size of your pancakes as desired.
4
Cook for about 3-5 minutes per side. Don’t flip until you see bubbles forming on the edges of the pancake. The second side cooks faster!
5
Take off the heat and enjoy! Serve with syrup, butter, peanut butter, banana, fruit compote, and/or jam as desired!
