Description
Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes are a game-changer for anyone looking to enjoy a light, protein-packed breakfast without sacrificing taste or texture.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat or non-fat for zero points)
2 large eggs
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for flavor)
Pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
Cooking spray or oil for the pan
Instructions
- Blend the Batter: Add cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and optional spices into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Preheat Your Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spray lightly with cooking oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of the batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form and the edges look firm.
- Flip Carefully: Gently flip with a rubber spatula and cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Plate immediately and top with fresh berries, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
Notes
Use a high-speed blender to get a smooth batter and avoid lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes after blending. This allows the baking powder to activate. Use a non-stick pan and cook on medium to low heat for even browning. If your batter is too runny, add a tablespoon of almond flour to thicken.
These small steps can make a big difference in the final texture and taste of your flourless cottage cheese pancakes.
