Servings: 12 pancakes
Calories: 86kcal
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 1 ¼ cup whole milk cottage cheese
- ¾ cup milk of choice
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup white whole wheat flour (or all purpose)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Topping ideas:
- coconut whip
- greek yogurt
- fresh berries
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, milk, eggs, syrup and vanilla into a blender jar. Blend until smooth and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Pour the blender contents into the bowl and gently mix everything together until you have a batter (it will be on the thicker side!).
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, melt some butter (or use cooking spray) to grease the skillet.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the pan and cook the pancakes until small bubbles form, about 2 - 3 minutes. Flip and cook the pancakes for another minute or two.
- Repeat until all the batter has been used.
- Serve up your pancakes with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
