Description

These Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes are a deliciously fluffy and protein-packed breakfast option. Made with creamy cottage cheese, fresh or frozen blueberries, and a light batter, they offer a perfect balance of tangy and sweet flavors. Quick to prepare and easy to cook on the stovetop, these pancakes are ideal for a nutritious morning meal or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil, plus more for the pan

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional, or to taste)
  • Pinch of salt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the wet stuff: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until mostly smooth. Some small curds from the cottage cheese are fine. For a silkier texture, you can blend the batter instead.
  2. Mix the dry stuff: In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Bring it all together: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay to have some lumps. Fold in the blueberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  4. Let it chill (optional): If possible, let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting time allows the flour to hydrate and the leavening agents to activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
  5. Time to cook: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve it up: Stack the pancakes and serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, extra butter, or fresh fruits.

Notes

  • Resting the batter helps improve texture but is optional if you’re short on time.
  • If you prefer smoother pancakes, blending the batter is a great alternative to just whisking.
  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries directly; do not thaw frozen blueberries to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
  • Adjust sugar amount or omit it for less sweetness.
  • Make sure your skillet is properly heated to prevent sticking and to get the best golden color.
