Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Butter (for greasing the skillet)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the pancakes tough.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them evenly apart.
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.
Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between batches as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
