EASY COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES

A simple brunch dish, savory side, or main dish that can be varied to taste. I enjoy eating cottage cheese pancakes with Indian-inspired toppings, sometimes spiced with curry or ginger, and with chutney and a sour pickle on the side. Add fry bread and a bean salad for a full meal. Feel free to add any spice, fruit puree, seeds, dried fruit, bits of meat or cheese, beans, or condiments to the batter, between 1 tablespoon and 1/2 cup.

EASY HEALTHY COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES

Savory pancake, great any time of the day. I adore Sharon123's cottage cheese pancakes (#348917), so I modified it to something I can feel good about eating almost every day. I love to sprinkle a little bit of sea salt on these after they're done, and eat them with additional fat-free cottage cheese. My husband likes them with sugar-free pancake syrup. Sometimes I use butter instead of the cooking spray, but obviously that changes the calories a bit. ;)

Time 12m

Yield 8 pancakes, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
3/4 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute or 4 whole eggs
1/2 cup ground oats or 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon wheat germ (optional)
non-fat cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine the first four ingredients, and spray griddle with cooking spray.
  • For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the hot griddle.
  • Flip when the first side is golden, then remove from heat when the other side is golden. Serve.

Tips:

  • For a smooth batter, blend the cottage cheese until it's completely smooth before adding it to the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can mash the cottage cheese with a fork until it's smooth.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to cook the pancakes to prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once, when the edges are golden brown and bubbles start to form on the surface.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, syrup, or yogurt.
