Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (or more for desired consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter for a smoother cooking process.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Add the Milk and Vanilla: Pour in the milk and add the vanilla extract. Stir until mixed well. Adjust milk for desired batter consistency.
  4. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  6. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test readiness by sprinkling water; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
  7. Add Butter or Oil: Coat the pan with a small amount of butter or oil.
  8. Pour the Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them.
  9. Cook Until Bubbles Form: Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  10. Flip the Pancakes: Flip each pancake carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if needed.
  11. Stack and Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm.
  12. Add Toppings: Top with maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas, or yogurt. Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
  13. Enjoy Your Meal: Sit down and enjoy your delicious cottage cheese pancakes!

Notes

  • Adjust the batter consistency with more milk if too thick.
  • Experiment with flavors by adding cinnamon, nutmeg, or chocolate chips.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for later use.
