Equipment
- 1 high speed blender
- 1 non stick pan or griddle
- 1 ¼ cup (60 ml) measuring cup optional
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1½ cups (330 g) cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cup (150 g) all purpose flour
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients into a high speed blender in this order: eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt, followed by baking powder and flour. Blend the ingredients together on low speed to combine. Once combined, increase the speed to high for 30 - 45 seconds. If needed, scrape the sides and bottom of the blender and blend again for a few seconds to incorporate any unincorporated ingredients.4 large eggs, room temperature, 1½ cups (330 g) cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) maple syrup , 1 teaspoon vanilla extract , 1 tablespoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt , 1¼ cup (150 g) all purpose flour
- Heat a non stick skillet or griddle to low- medium heat while the batter rests for a few minutes. In a preheated non stick skillet or griddle, melt some butter, coconut oil or other oil on the skillet. Drop a small amount of pancake batter onto the preheated skillet to test if the skillet is ready.
- Using a ¼ cup (59 ml) measuring cup, drop the cottage cheese pancake batter onto the hot skillet. When bubbles start to form, pop and stay on surface of the pancake, it’s time to flip. This takes about 3 - 4 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1- 2 minutes.
- Transfer the pancakes to a cooling rack or plate. Continue cooking the pancakes until all the batter is used. Serve as soon as possible with your favorite toppings. I like topping my protein pancakes with fresh berries and warm maple syrup.
Notes
Serve: Pancakes are the perfect dish to use any toppings you like. They would be especially delicious with fresh berries or a warm fruit compote, warm maple syrup, or whipped honey butter.
Store: Place the cottage cheese protein pancakes in an airtight container the fridge for up to 3 - 4 days.
Tip: If you don't have a blender, the pancakes can be made by whisking the wet ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Proceed making the pancakes as written in the recipe.
