Units
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, maple syrup (if using), baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and well-combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
- Pour the batter onto the skillet, forming small circles. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Flip carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, syrup, or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Add cinnamon or a few banana slices to the batter for a flavor twist.
- For a dairy-free version, try using non-dairy cottage cheese (or silken tofu as a substitute).
- Adjust the level of sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of maple syrup.
