Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Grated low-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk together until well-blended and slightly smooth.
Add the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt into the cheese and egg mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
Gradually pour in the low-fat milk and olive oil, continuing to mix until you achieve a smooth batter.
Fold in the grated low-fat cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, spraying it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour a small ladleful of batter onto the skillet, using the back of the ladle to spread the batter into a round pancake.
Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until you see small bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
Serve these delightful low-fat cheese pancakes warm, optionally garnished with extra chives or a dollop of low-fat sour cream.
