Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Pancakes
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and flour. Stir until well blended, leaving some cottage cheese chunks visible.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add canola oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering.
  3. Scoop about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  4. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm with maple syrup or fresh fruit.
