Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for greasing)
- Optional toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, syrup, powdered sugar)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and eggs until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and sugar to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are okay.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it with a small amount of butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look slightly set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
