Scale

1 1/4 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup cottage cheese

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour and baking powder.
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and milk. Blend until smooth.
Gently stir the blended wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter.
Scoop the pancake batter into the skillet and cook until the edges are dry and bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancake and cook for another minute or two until golden brown on both sides.
Continue to cook the rest of the pancakes in batches. Keep the cooked pancakes warm by stacking them on a plate.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter, and enjoy!

Notes

Let the coconut oil cool before adding it to the batter to avoid clumping.
Stir the wet ingredients gently into the dry ingredients to avoid tough pancakes. Overmixing can result in dense, flat pancakes.
Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast-iron pan for easy flipping.
To check if the pancakes are cooked through, press lightly on the top; if it springs back, they’re done.
