Ingredients  

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups milk of choice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • Cooking spray or butter, for greasing pan

Instructions 

  • Add the cottage cheese to the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the whipped cottage cheese to a medium bowl then whisk in the milk, eggs and vanilla extract. 
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and sugar with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
  • Add the cottage cheese mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. (The batter should be lumpy.)
  • Preheat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease it with cooking spray. Spoon 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the griddle. Once bubbles form across the entire surface of the pancakes, flip them once and continue cooking an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately or let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
