Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
For Cooking
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend until smooth and creamy to achieve a batter with the right consistency.
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil to the pan to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook them for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, indicating that the bottom is golden and the inside is cooking through.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue cooking with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or syrup for a delicious and nutritious meal.
Notes
- Using a blender ensures the batter is smooth and pancakes are tender.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
- These pancakes are naturally gluten-free, perfect for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
