Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, and honey or maple syrup if using. This will ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed for a smooth batter.
  2. Blend Batter: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining. This helps to achieve a light, fluffy texture in the pancakes.
  3. Preheat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to grease the pan and prevent sticking.
  4. Pour Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Make sure to leave enough space between pancakes for flipping.
  5. Cook First Side: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. This indicates the pancake is ready to flip.
  6. Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
  7. Repeat and Serve: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or syrup.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese with a firm tofu blended smooth, but texture may vary.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to taste.
  • These pancakes are best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
  • If you prefer fluffier pancakes, separate egg whites and beat them before folding into the batter.
