High-Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free alternative)
• 2 tablespoons sugar (or a sugar substitute, if desired)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat or fat-free)
• 1/2 cup milk (any type; almond milk works great for a dairy-free version)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cooking spray or butter for the skillet

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.
3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray or butter.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
6. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
7. Continue cooking pancakes with the remaining batter.
8. Serve your pancakes hot off the skillet with your choice of toppings.
