Cottage cheese adds lightness and protein to these low-sugar, whole wheat pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp canola oil
Instructions
- STIR flour with baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
- WHIRL cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth. Whirl in eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. Whirl in flour mixture until just combined.
- HEAT an extra-large non-stick frying pan over medium. Brush with oil. Scoop a scant 1/4 cup batter into pan for each pancake; 3 or 4 will fit in the pan. Cook until bottoms have set, 1 to 2 min. Flip and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 more min. Reduce heat if pancakes are browning. Remove to a platter. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat.
