Instructions

In a bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients—eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and honey (or agave). Whisk until combined.

In a different bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and salt—until evenly mixed.

Pour the dry mixture into the bowl of wet mixture. Stir gently until everything is just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Heat a large sauté pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with oil or butter to prevent sticking.

Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the preheated griddle for each pancake. Cook for approximately 2 minutes on the first side. You should see bubbles form before you flip.

Flip the pancakes and cook for 2 more minutes on the other side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Strain Your Cottage Cheese 🧈
Press cottage cheese through a fine mesh strainer for 5 minutes before mixing to remove excess moisture, resulting in fluffier, less dense pancakes with better texture.
Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Allow eggs and cottage cheese to reach room temperature before combining—this creates a smoother batter and ensures even cooking throughout the pancake.
Let Batter Rest Before Cooking ⏱️
Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes after mixing to let the baking powder activate and flour hydrate fully, producing noticeably fluffier pancakes.
Use Butter and Oil Combination 🥣
Combine melted butter with oil spray on the griddle—butter adds rich flavor while oil prevents sticking and burning, giving you golden edges without scorching.
Don't Flip Until Bubbles Pop 🫧
Wait until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set before flipping; this ensures the interior is cooked through before the exterior browns too much.
