Description
Golden, fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes made with simple ingredients and high in protein. These are perfect for a quick breakfast or a leisurely brunch, topped with fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of syrup.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
3 large eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together cottage cheese and eggs until well combined. Stir in vanilla extract and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients, stirring gently.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil.
4. Use 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes.
5. Transfer pancakes to a plate. Top with fruit, syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite garnish.
Notes
Let the batter rest 5 minutes before cooking for better texture.
Use low or medium-low heat to avoid burning.
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in toaster, skillet, or microwave.
