Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Cottage Cheese Pancakes are wonderfully soft and fluffy. They are packed with protein, easy to make and reheat well. If you want a change on your regular pancakes, give these a try!

We do love pancakes for breakfast/brunch especially at the weekends. And we often make recipes like almond milk pancakes, yogurt pancakes and chocolate pancakes.

And these cottage cheese pancakes are a family favorite breakfast food too. They are slightly crispy on the outside and super soft and fluffy on the inside. It is really hard to stop eating these.

Why We Like This Recipe

  • These pancakes with cottage cheese are easy to make.
  • They are packed with protein.
  • They are super soft and fluffy.
  • They reheat well.

About The Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Eggs: We use large eggs. The number of eggs we use in this recipe is more than that of a regular pancake.
  • Sugar: We use granulated white sugar. You can use maple syrup instead.
  • Cottage cheese: Use small curd cottage cheese. No need to drain it.
  • Oil: We use light olive oil. You can use butter instead.

How To Make

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar well. Add in the cottage cheese and vanilla and mix well. Make sure there are no large clumps of cottage cheese. You can use a fork to mash it. 
  2. In another bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Pour this into the wet mixture and mix just until everything combines well. Don't over-mix.
  3. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. 
  4. Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter into the pan and cook until golden on one side, about 2 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed. If you think it browns too fast, lower the heat a little. Flip and cook the other side until golden, about 1 minute. Make sure they are not gooey on the inside. 

Serving Suggestions

You can serve these cottage cheese pancakes with a number of ways. Powdered sugar, chocolate spread like Nutella or maple syrup is a nice match. Also you can serve some berries on the side.

We also love to serve these pancakes with jams like strawberry jam or mulberry jam.

    Excellent recipe. I wound up combining the extra flour into the pancakes instead of coating them, but it still was really delicious, and turned out a lot better than I expected.

    Ben de 2-3 hafta önce evdeki loru ne yapsam diye araştırırken yabancı bir blogda rastladım syrniki'ye ve hemen hazırlayıp blogumda paylaştım. Çok değişik ve lezzetli bir tarif. Özellikle evdeki bücüre sağlıklı bir kahvaltı sunmak için harika oluyor :)) Ellerine sağlık...

      Kesinlikle çok güzel bir kahvaltı tarifi bu. Hatta normal krep veya pancake'ten daha çok sevdim ben. Zaten çocuklar beğeniyorsa gerçekten lezzetlidir 🙂 Seninkine de baktım şimdi, harika görünüyorlar.
