Ingredients

1 cup small curd cottage cheese
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey
½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour see flour notes
½ tablespoon baking powder
pinch of ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

Make pancake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla until well combined. Add in flour, baking powder, and cinnamon; whisk until flour is fully incorporated. Set aside for 5 minutes while you heat up griddle or skillet to medium-high heat.
Cook pancakes: Once griddle is hot, add oil or butter. Add about 3 tablespoons of batter to griddle and cook pancakes until edges start to bubble. Flip pancakes and continue cooking another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter
Serve warm: Enjoy with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit or jam.

Notes

FLOUR - Sub it out for half all purpose flour, half whole wheat flour to achieve the same texture. Or, try your hand at gluten free cottage cheese pancakes with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour such as Bob's Red Mill.

STORAGE - Store in an airtight container or plastic bag in the fridge for up to 3 days.

FREEZE - Place the pancakes in a freezer bag or container, with squares of parchment paper or wax paper between each one to prevent sticking. Freeze for up to 3 months.

REHEAT - Pop one in the microwave for 30-seconds, rewarm in a skillet with a dab of oil or reheat a batch in the toaster oven or oven set to 350 degrees F.
