Whole Wheat Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Recipe details
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- butter for baking
Instructions
- Combine the 4 dry ingredients; whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a food processor, blender or use an immersion blender combine cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract and milk and blend smooth.
- Add wet ingredients to wheat flour mix and stir to combine.
- Heat you skillet or griddle on medium heat and add a dollop of butter. When melted and hot, add multiple (depending on the size of your skillet or griddle) 1/4 cups of batter into your skillet. Total number of pancakes is about 8 (4 for each person)
- Cook the pancakes about 3-4 minutes, flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve pancakes with butter, maple syrup and/or fresh fruit.
Tips
- You can use almond milk, soy milk or oat milk if you like.
- If you want to mix by hand, that is of course fine as well, but you may not be able to get the batter as smooth and the pancakes may still have tiny white speckles of cottage cheese visible.
- Since not all wheat flour is the same, you may need to add another tablespoon of milk to thin the batter a little.
