Making Cottage Cheese Pancakes

This is a brief overview of the recipe. The full list of ingredients and step-by-step instructions are in the recipe card below.

Whisk dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients and mix well.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat (or use an electric griddle at medium heat).
Pour batter onto the hot skillet or griddle in 1/3 cup amounts. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and then flip. Keep cooking until other side browns.

Karlynn’s Tips and Tricks for Making Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Serving Suggestions: While the cottage cheese in these pancakes is already a wonderful boost of protein, you can easily add more protein to the meal with some bacon or sausage. Try making bacon in your air fryer, or some Maple Glazed Breakfast Sausage to have with your pancakes. Add on some toppings like whipped cream, Saskatoon Berry Sauce, or a drizzle of Caramel Syrup. If you would prefer to keep these pancakes more on the savoury side, eliminate the sugar and vanilla.

Texture Issues: If the people in your household don’t appreciate large curds of cheese, try pureeing your cottage cheese before adding it to the pancake batter. A quick blitz in a food processor or blender )immersion blender would also work) will make the cottage cheese much smoother and less noticeable.

Storage Instructions

Keep these in a sealed container at room temperature or in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can freeze them in a sealed container for a few months. Layer parchment paper between the pancakes to keep them from sticking together when frozen.
