I’m all about this basic Fluffy Pancakes recipe for particular events and lazy weekends, however these cottage cheese pancakes have turn out to be my go-to for weekday mornings, once I want one thing to energy me by to lunch time.

Like my Protein Pancakes, these pancakes pack in additional protein than a basic pancake recipe, however this model is made with out protein powder. When you’ve had ricotta pancakes earlier than, the vibe is analogous right here—suppose: tremendous moist, tender, and just a little bit creamy.

My Ideas for Good Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Every part you want for pancake perfection is within the recipe card on the backside of the web page, however listed here are some extra pointers that may assist you alongside the way in which.

• No Excessive-Velocity Blender? No Downside! When you don’t have a high-spend blender, you’ll be able to tweak the method barely. I like to recommend including the oats to your blender and blitzing them till they type a powder. Then add the remainder of the elements and mix once more. (A meals processor will work too.)
• Let the Batter Relaxation. I do know we’re all impatient as a result of we wish pancakes and we wish them NOW, however letting the batter relaxation permits the bottom oats to absorb the liquid. This implies thicker, fluffier pancakes.
• Maintain the Warmth at Medium-Low. This batter is thick and it wants time to cook dinner by. Cooking on medium-low offers it adequate time to utterly set within the center with out burning the outsides.

Serving Strategies

So as to add much more protein to my breakfast, I like serving these cottage cheese pancakes alongside Cottage Cheese Eggs or Turkey Sausage.

Or if I’m feelin’ fancy, I’ll high them with Do-it-yourself Apple Pie Filling, which I preserve stockpiled within the freezer.
