Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Step 1

Preheat an electric skillet to 350 degrees F. Or warm a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 2

There are two ways to make these cottage cheese pancakes, 1) mix everything together in one bowl. Or 2), blend the cottage cheese and eggs together first, then mix everything in one bowl.

Step 3

Combine cottage cheese, eggs, honey, and vanilla in a large bowl.

Step 4

Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder and sea salt, stir to combine.

Step 5

If necessary, add milk 1 TBS at a time (up to 2 TBS) to thin out the batter.

Step 6

Put the cottage cheese and eggs into the container of a blender.

Step 7

Blend on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.

Step 8

Transfer the cottage cheese/egg mixture to a large bowl, add the honey and vanilla and stir to combine. Then add the dry ingredients and milk, if necessary.

Step 9

Melt ½ to 1 TBS butter onto an electric skillet (depending on its size). Use ¼ cup measuring cup to portion out the pancake batter. Carefully pour it onto the prepared griddle or skillet. (I cook 4-6 pancakes at once on my griddle).

Step 10

Cook on the first side until the batter begins to bubble and becomes set around the edges (about 3-5 minutes).

Step 11

Flip, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the pancakes have become fluffy and are golden-brown.

Step 12

Melt additional ½ tablespoon of butter on the griddle/skillet between each batch of pancakes. Repeat until all the batter is gone.

Step 13

Serve warm with maple syrup.
