Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and protein powder. Stir until smooth and well blended.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the flour mixture to the cheese mixture, stirring just until combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs along with the honey, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until everything is well incorporated.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently to ensure no lumps remain.
Fold in the olive oil or melted butter, mixing just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can affect the fluffiness of the pancakes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of olive oil or butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
