Imagine waking up to a stack of warm, golden-brown pancakes that are not only delicious but also packed with protein and nutrients. These healthy cottage cheese pancakes are the perfect balance of fluffy texture, subtle sweetness, and a slight tang from the cottage cheese.
Yield: 4
Instructions
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mixing these separately ensures the leavening agent is evenly distributed.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Avoid overmixing — this keeps the pancakes light and airy. If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a little butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the pan.
- Cook for about 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through. Keep the heat moderate to avoid burning while ensuring the centers cook properly.
- Stack the pancakes high and serve them warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Blend for Extra Smoothness — Blending the batter removes any lumps from the cottage cheese, making the pancakes soft and fluffy.
Use Oat Flour for a Nutritious Twist — Oat flour keeps these pancakes fiber-rich and naturally gluten-free.
Keep the Heat Low — Cottage cheese makes these pancakes delicate, so cooking over medium-low heat prevents burning.
Don’t Overmix — Stir the batter just until combined to keep the texture airy and soft.
Make Mini Pancakes — Smaller pancakes are easier to flip and cook evenly.
