Fluffy, protein-packed pancakes with a comforting flavor from simple pantry items, perfect for any morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar or honey (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Butter or neutral oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. Add cottage cheese, sugar (if using), and vanilla. Stir gently.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Fold the dry mix into the wet just until combined. The batter will be thick and a bit uneven. Let rest 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium. Add a small pat of butter or a teaspoon of oil and wipe to coat.
  5. Spoon 2–3 tbsp batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook 2–3 minutes until edges set and bottoms are golden. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.
  6. Serve warm with fruit, yogurt, maple syrup, or a smear of nut butter.

Notes

For a light crust, melt butter in the pan just before each batch. Cool completely before storing with parchment between layers.
