Description

Fluffy and protein-packed cottage cheese pancakes that are quick to blend and easy to cook. Perfect for a nutritious breakfast that combines creamy cottage cheese with warm cinnamon and vanilla flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 eggs
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk


Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Put all ingredients into a blender. Blend at high speed for 1 minute until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  2. Heat the griddle: Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
  3. Cook the pancakes: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto the hot greased griddle, spacing each pancake to allow for spreading.
  4. Flip the pancakes: When bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, flip it carefully using a spatula.
  5. Finish cooking: Cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes more.
  6. Serve and store: Enjoy the pancakes immediately for best taste. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days or freeze in sealable bags for quick future breakfasts.

Notes

  • These pancakes are soft, fluffy, and high in protein, helping keep you full throughout the morning.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour if desired.
  • If you prefer thinner pancakes, add a little more milk to the batter.
  • To keep pancakes warm, place finished ones on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
  • For added flavor, serve with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
