Ingredients
- 250 grams pressed cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 50 grams all-purpose flour can be replaced by whole wheat flour for more fiber
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon mapple syrup optional
- Pinch of salt
- Avocado oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the pressed cottage cheese and lightly mash it with a fork for a smoother texture.
- Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the flour and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until a thick batter forms.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter.
- Spoon small portions of batter into the pan, forming small pancakes.
- Before flipping, lightly coat each pancake with a small amount of flour. This helps prevent sticking and makes the pancakes easier to turn while keeping their soft texture.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
