Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk (low fat or any preferred type)
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Stir until the flour is well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, sugar, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the pancakes tough.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, giving enough space between each one.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until small bubbles form on the surface, and the edges start to appear set.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while repeating the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, honey, or syrup. Enjoy your delicious low sodium cottage cheese pancakes!
