Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Cottage cheese (1 cup, large curd)
  • Eggs (2, large)
  • All-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Butter (2 tablespoons, for cooking)
  • Maple syrup (to taste, for serving)
  • Fresh berries (1 cup, for serving (e.g., blueberries, strawberries, raspberries))

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, honey, and salt. Mix well until you achieve a smooth batter.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, indicating they are ready to flip, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown.
  5. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary to prevent sticking.
  6. Serve the fluffy cottage cheese pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
  7. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast!
