Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour all-purpose or whole wheat
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup almond milk optional

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  • In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. If the batter is too thick, add almond milk to reach desired consistency.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over low-medium heat and grease with butter or oil.
  • Scoop ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve hot with maple syrup and toppings of your choice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If the batter is too thick, add almond milk for smoother consistency.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose for a fiber-rich alternative.
  • For best results, use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamy texture.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months.
