Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat recommended
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or oat flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • butter for the pan

Instructions

  1. Blend the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla, and salt to the blender. Pulse a few times until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a pat of butter.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  5. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of honey.
