🥞 Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes
📝 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Milk | 65 ml | Creates smooth, creamy texture |
| Vanilla pudding/butter powder | 1.5 tbsp | Adds flavor & binds batter without flour |
| Egg | 1 | Provides structure & binding |
| Cottage cheese (white cheese) | 1 tbsp | Adds creaminess & fluffiness |
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Batter
- In a medium bowl, combine milk, pudding powder, egg, and cottage cheese.
- Whisk or blend until smooth and creamy.
- Batter should be pourable but slightly thick. Adjust with extra milk if too dense, or more pudding powder/cottage cheese if too thin.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low. Lightly brush with butter or oil.
- Pour small amounts of batter to form thin pancakes.
- Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges lift. Flip carefully and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter, watching closely—they cook quickly!
Step 3: Fill & Serve
Choose your favorite fillings:
- Jam – Strawberry, blueberry, raspberry for a sweet contrast.
- Nutella – Rich, chocolaty indulgence.
- Melted chocolate – Drizzle milk, dark, or white chocolate for dessert-style pancakes.
- Extra cottage cheese – Savory, protein-packed option.
- Poppy seeds – Nutty flavor and texture.
- Nuts – Almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts for crunch.
Fold pancakes into rolls or stack in layers. Top with honey, maple syrup, or powdered sugar for extra flair.
💡 Tips for Success
- Thin is best: Batter is designed for delicate, light pancakes.
- Keep heat low: Medium-low ensures even cooking without burning.
- Flavor boost: Add cinnamon or vanilla extract for depth.
- Make ahead: Store cooked pancakes in the fridge up to 2 days; reheat before serving.
✨ Fluffy, protein-rich, and endlessly customizable—these flourless cottage cheese pancakes are proof that healthy can still mean delicious.
