  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 10 pancakes

Ingredients

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. It’s okay to have some curds from the cottage cheese. If you prefer a silky-smooth batter, you can blend it instead.
  2. Mix the dry stuff: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Bring it all together: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are welcome to keep pancakes fluffy. Fold in the blueberries carefully.
  4. Let it chill (optional but worth it): Allow the batter to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This hydrates the flour and lets the leavening agents activate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
  5. Time to cook: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve it up: Stack the pancakes and serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy; lumps are okay.
  • If using frozen blueberries, add them to the batter without thawing to prevent excess moisture.
  • Letting the batter rest is optional but helps make the pancakes fluffier.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or griddle for best cooking results.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to taste or omit if you prefer a less sweet pancake.
