These cottage cheese pancakes are soft, fluffy, and packed with protein, making them a delicious breakfast that feels a little more filling than regular pancakes. They have a mild flavor and tender texture, so they’re easy to serve with syrup, fresh fruit, jam, or powdered sugar.
Stir together all of the wet ingredients (cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and oil) until well combined. There will be cottage cheese curds visible.
Whisk together the sugar, flour, and baking powder, and then stir into the wet ingredients until there are no more dry spots. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
Heat the griddle over medium-low heat (300ºF) with butter, if desired. Add ⅓ cup of the batter to the griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until firm on the bottom with small bubbles starting to form on the top. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden on both sides.
Repeat until all of the pancake batter is cooked.
Enjoy with your favorite toppings including fresh berries and sugar-free maple syrup.
