Print Recipe

Ingredients

3 large eggs
1 cup (240g) cottage cheese (low fat or full fat is fine)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup (70g) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Heat a large griddle over medium low heat. (I even use low heat because they can burn easily on higher heat and the middle left undone)
In a large bowl combine eggs, cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla. Add the flour and baking powder and mix just until combined. Pour 1/4 cupfuls onto preheated and lightly greased griddle. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden.

Notes

Recipe adapted from Weelicious.
If you would like to make these gluten-free use 3/4 cup of old-fashioned oats and grind them in a blender to make 1/2 cup oat flour. Grind them until it resembles flour.
You can also make the entire recipe in a blender if you prefer. Just put everything into your blender and blend just until combined.
You can also substitute with whole wheat flour. Just use a little less and they will be a little denser but they still tasted great.
Make ahead option: Stack cooled pancakes with a piece of parchment paper in between each. Place in a ziploc bag or freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the toaster or let them thaw and reheat in the microwave.
