Delicious and fluffy cottage cheese pancakes made with simple ingredients, perfect for a protein-packed breakfast or brunch. These pancakes blend creamy cottage cheese with eggs and flour for a smooth batter that cooks to golden perfection on the stovetop.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (plus more for serving)

For Cooking

  • Butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and maple syrup to a blender. Blend for about 20 seconds until the batter is smooth and thick.
  2. Heat Skillet: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter and allow it to melt, coating the surface.
  3. Pour Batter: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Cook the pancakes for about 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbles form around the edges and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip carefully and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with butter, maple syrup, and fresh berries as desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure your skillet is properly heated before adding the batter to ensure even cooking.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk to loosen it slightly.
  • These pancakes freeze well—reheat gently in a skillet or toaster.
