Delicious and fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes made with simple ingredients including flour, baking powder, cottage cheese, eggs, and coconut oil. These pancakes are rich in protein, easy to prepare, and perfect for a nutritious breakfast topped with maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons milk of choice (or up to 1/4 cup for thinner pancakes)
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil (melted and cooled)
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup (plus more for serving)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking powder and whisk together to evenly distribute the leavening agent throughout the flour.
  2. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, add the cottage cheese, eggs, and milk, then blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  3. Combine: Pour the blended wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Mix Oil, Syrup, and Vanilla: Stir in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the batter to add moisture, sweetness, and flavor.
  5. Heat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up properly for even cooking of the pancakes.
  6. Cook Pancakes: Scoop the batter into the heated skillet, cooking each pancake until the edges appear dry and bubbles start forming on the surface. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the underside is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
  8. Stack and Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate to keep warm, then serve topped with additional maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For thinner pancakes, increase the milk up to 1/4 cup.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • If you don’t have coconut oil, substitute with melted butter or a neutral oil like vegetable oil.
  • Keep the skillet at medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes before they are cooked through.
  • These pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or skillet for a quick breakfast.
