Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Description
This recipe for Cottage Cheese Pancakes starts with a dry mix of flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. The wet ingredients — cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla — are blended until smooth and then combined with the dry ingredients. Almond milk can be added to adjust batter thickness. The batter is thick and may need to be shaped on the griddle with a spoon.
Cooked over low to medium heat, the pancakes develop a firm edge with light bubbles before flipping to cook the other side, resulting in a golden exterior with a tender crumb inside. The inclusion of cottage cheese enriches the texture and flavor, offering a moist pancake different from traditional recipes.
They are served stacked with maple syrup, making a hearty breakfast option that combines slight sweetness with a creamy texture. The recipe makes about eight pancakes and can be adapted with flour types.
Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup cottage cheese I used Good Culture 4%
- 2 large egg
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup plus more for topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon almond milk optional
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla to a blender or food processor and blend until combined and smooth. Alternatively, if you don't have a blender you can whisk your wet ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
- Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. If your batter seems too thick add in the almond milk and stir to combine again.
- Heat pan or griddle to low-medium heat and spray with non-stick spray. Once hot, scoop out about a quarter cup of batter at a time and pour onto pan. You may have to use a spoon to spread the batter into a circle shape if your batter is pretty thick. You should be able to make 8 pancakes. Cook until little bubbles form and the edges of the pancakes are solid enough to put a spatula underneath, about 4-5 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for 2-3 additional minutes.
- For serving, place four pancakes on each plate, top with a drizzle of maple syrup and serve with fresh berries or toppings of choice.
