Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Description
This recipe blends cottage cheese with all-purpose flour and oat bran, along with baking soda, salt, eggs, and milk to form a smooth batter. The cottage cheese adds moisture and a creamy tang that sets these pancakes apart from standard varieties. Cooking on a medium to moderately hot griddle produces pancakes that are set enough to flip easily, with a delicate balance of softness inside and a slightly crisp exterior.
The inclusion of oat bran adds subtle texture and fiber, though it can be omitted for a simpler flour-only batter. Vanilla enhances the flavor with a gentle sweetness. These pancakes work well for a wholesome breakfast or brunch, served with syrup, fruit, or toppings of choice.
Adjusting the ingredient ratios can control pancake thickness and richness. For example, omitting milk and using more eggs yields thicker pancakes, while using full-fat cottage cheese enriches their flavor.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup oat bran or use all purpose flour for a total of 1 cup in recipe
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg extra large
- 1 cup cottage cheese I used small curd, 1% low fat
- 1/2 cup milk I used almond milk, unsweetened
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Spray griddle or skillet with cooking spray and heat griddle to 350 degrees or skillet to medium.
- Sift flour, oat bran, baking soda and salt together. Put flour in a blender with eggs, cottage cheese, milk and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
- Pour about 1/4 cup per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until set enough to flip once. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Substitute all oat bran with all-purpose flour for a total of one cup flour if preferred.
- Using full-fat cottage cheese will give pancakes a richer taste.
- For thicker pancakes, use two eggs and omit the milk.
