Lightly spiced with cinnamon and sweetened naturally with maple syrup, these pancakes offer a fluffy, moist texture and a rich flavor, perfect for a wholesome start to your day.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Dry Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon

For Cooking

  • Neutral oil or unsalted butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Blend: Add 1 cup of cottage cheese, ¼ cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup into a blender. Blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth batter.
  2. Combine: In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon. Pour the blended wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be thick, resembling cake batter consistency.
  3. Cook: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and swirl a small amount of neutral oil or butter to coat the surface. Pour ⅓ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook in batches for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid high heat to prevent burning the exterior before the center is fully cooked.
  4. Serve: Serve the pancakes hot with extra maple syrup and any additional desired toppings such as fresh fruit or nuts.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt to ensure a moist and tender pancake.
  • If desired, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist, though texture may vary.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or griddle for easier cooking and flipping of pancakes.
  • These pancakes pair wonderfully with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of additional Greek yogurt.
