Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cottage cheese (240 ml | ~220 g)
2 large eggs (≈100 ml | ~110 g without shell)
½ cup oat flour or almond flour (120 ml | 45 g oat flour | 48 g almond flour)
1 tsp baking powder (5 ml | 4 g)
1 tsp vanilla extract (5 ml)
Zest of 1 lemon
1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional) (15–30 ml)
½ cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (120 ml | ~70 g)
Pinch of salt (1 g)
Cooking spray or butter for the pan
Instructions
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, lemon zest, honey or maple syrup (if you’re feeling sweet today), and a pinch of salt. Mix until you achieve a smooth and creamy batter.
Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Heat the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray or a pat of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.
Pour the Batter: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter per mini pancake onto the skillet.
Cook Until Golden: Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side until fluffy and beautifully browned.
Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes warm, drizzling with extra honey or syrup as desired.
Notes
If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster or oven.
