Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 egg whites
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup low-fat milk
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey
- cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg whites, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and honey. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
In another bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
Carefully 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 warm, optionally with fresh fruit or a little dash of syrup, if desired. Enjoy your low-fat fluffy cheese pancakes!
