Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar (if using). Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.Heat the Pan:
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to grease the pan.Cook the Pancakes:
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Notes
For extra fluffiness, don’t overmix the batter. Stir it just enough to combine the ingredients.
Use medium heat to ensure the pancakes cook evenly without burning.
To make them extra rich, you can add a dollop of whipped cottage cheese on top of the pancakes.
