Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (optional)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth and creamy, ensuring the cottage cheese is well incorporated.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and optional sugar. This helps evenly distribute the leavening agents and creates a light, airy texture.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine for tender pancakes.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, pushing them through with a spatula to avoid bursting the berries and turning the batter purple.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour batter in small rounds and cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes per side, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries and quality cottage cheese for best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes; some lumps are fine.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
  • Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to enhance fluffiness by hydrating the flour.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm on a tray in a low oven while finishing the batch.
