Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 cup blueberries or other berries, dark chocolate chips
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing the pan

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until blended. Then whisk in the cottage cheese, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Using a measuring cup, pour batter into the pan. Cook until the pancakes are puffed on top and golden brown on the bottom.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until risen and cooked through.
  • Serve with fresh berries, maple syrup, and Greek yogurt.

Notes

  1. You can add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender if you prefer a smoother consistency and texture. Just be sure to not over blend. 
  2. If you would like to make these gluten-free use 3/4 cup of old-fashioned oats and grind them in a blender to make 1/2 cup oat flour.  Grind them until it resembles flour.  
  3. You can also substitute with whole wheat flour. The texture will be different, but they will still taste good. You can also substitute some (around 25%) of all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. 
Serving suggestions:
  • Greek yogrut
  • Syrup
  • Fresh fruit
