Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes
Fluffy and delicious pancakes with a protein boost. Make these easy blueberry cottage cheese pancakes for a nourishing breakfast.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt, reduce by half if your cottage cheese is particularly salty
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup low fat cottage cheese, I use 2%
- 2 large egg
- ½ Tbsp olive oil, or melted butter
- ½ Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ Tbsp maple syrup
- ⅔ cup blueberries, washed and thoroughly dried
For cooking
- salted butter
Equipment
- small blender with cup do not use a full-sized blender
Instructions
- To a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until combined and set aside.
- To your blender, add all wet ingredients except blueberries. Blend until completely smooth, about 20-seconds.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently stir until a batter forms. Then, gently stir in your blueberries. Let your batter sit for 5-minutes while your pan heats (it needs this time to thicken), but no longer than 10-minutes.
- Heat a pan to slightly below medium. Coat with a thin layer of butter. If the pan is too hot, the outsides will burn and the insides won't cook through.
- Pour batter on to the pan, about ¼ cup per pancake, making sure they don't touch. Cook for 3-4 minutes untouched, or until the tops have lots of bubbles and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip, and cook for a few more minutes or until cooked through. Repeat until all batter has been used, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup, berries, and other toppings as desired. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage and re-heating: Let your blueberry cottage cheese pancakes cool before storing in the fridge (up to 3 days) or freezer (up to 3 months). Re-heat in the toaster for best results.
