Cottage Cheese Pancake Recipe
Cottage cheese pancakes are super fluffy and soft. The cottage cheese adds protein and keeps the pancake from drying out!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ¼ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder aluminium free
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons melted butter plus more for cooking
- Fresh berries for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract until combined. Sift in flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Whisk until the flour is incorporated.
- Whisk in the melted butter, then let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- When ready to cook, lightly butter a large skillet and set over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add the batter to the pan in about ¼ cup mounds, taking care not to crowd the pan. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the cooking surface as needed.
- Serve warm topped with maple syrup and fresh berries.

Notes
Storage: Pancakes are best enjoyed freshly made, but if you have leftover cottage cheese pancakes, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them. To reheat, place on a sheet pan and warm in a preheated 350° oven for about 5 minutes or until heated through. Or, you can pop them in the microwave with a damp paper towel, heating in 30-second intervals until hot.
Freezing Instructions: Let the pancakes fully cool, then arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, you can store them in an airtight bag in the freezer for up to 3 months.
