How to Make Light As A Feather Pancakes

  1. Combine 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, 4 large eggs (or 8 egg whites for lower fat), 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or coconut), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. Add ½ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend) to the blender and blend until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. Then, gently fold in 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a pat of butter (about 1 tablespoon) to the hot griddle.
  5. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, leaving space between them.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Bubbles will appear on the surface before flipping.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings! Maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar are all delicious options.
