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
- Prepare the batter: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a light texture.
- Preheat skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Let cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, indicating the bottom is set.
- Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.
- Repeat cooking: Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed to keep the pancakes from sticking and ensure even browning.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or syrup for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a savory version, omit the sweetener and add herbs or spices of your choice like chives, parsley, or pepper.
- These pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them great for meal prep.
- You can also freeze cooked pancakes for up to one month; reheat by toasting or microwaving.
