Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat) Full-fat is preferred for extra creamy texture.
  • 2 large eggs Let them come to room temperature for better mixing.
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) Almond or oat milk work beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries Frozen works perfectly!
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined—this will take about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure the leavening agents are evenly distributed.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, careful not to overmix.
  4. Carefully fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed.
Cooking
  1. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a pat of butter or a drizzle of oil and let it heat fully—about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake into the skillet. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Serve immediately, topped with additional maple syrup, fresh berries, yogurt, or a pat of butter.

Notes

For the best fluffiness, do not overmix the batter. Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month. Reheat by popping them in a toaster for a quick breakfast!
