Description
This 5 Minute Cottage Cheese Pancake is a quick, nutritious breakfast that is fluffy and customizable.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (Use full-fat for fluffiest texture)
- 1 large Egg (Binds ingredients and adds richness)
- 2.5 tbsp Flour (All-purpose flour recommended)
- 0.5 tsp Baking Powder (Leavens the pancake)
- 0.125 tsp Salt (Enhances flavor)
- 0.5 tbsp Butter (Melted, for richness)
- 0.25 tsp Vanilla Extract (Imparts warm flavor)
- to taste Maple Syrup (Consider fresh berries or nuts as toppings)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine cottage cheese, egg, flour, baking powder, salt, melted butter, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy, resembling a thick batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Carefully pour the batter into the center of the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown.
- Gently flip the pancake using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the other side to turn golden and fluffy.
- Let the pancake rest for a moment. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
