Cottage Cheese in Pancakes!? Yes!

Stop, don’t go! These pancakes are totally delicious – you’d never suspect they were a “better for you” pancake made with cottage cheese & whole wheat flour!

I know cottage cheese doesn’t sound like a usual pancake ingredient – but it works, and it works well. Using straight whole wheat flour in pancakes can be tricky. The cottage cheese not only helps make these pancakes moist, but it also helps give them a fluffy, spongey texture.

Ingredients & Instructions

No one ever guesses that cottage cheese is one of the main ingredients in this recipe!

You’ll make these Cottage Cheese Pancakes like you would any other pancake recipe. Whisk together ingredients & pour portions onto a hot griddle.

Although you may see traces of cottage cheese in the pancakes – you’ll taste no curds. They seem to magically melt into the pancake : )

Sweetener Options

That leads us into the discussion of alternative & artificial sweeteners.

I’ve (personally) never cared for artificial sweeteners and I don’t use them for myself.

Now that I find myself cooking for a diabetic I’ve been experimenting with every artificial & alternative sweetener under the sun. I just can’t get thru them all – and every time I go to the store I find a new one. The selection is awesome but exhausting!

All that blabbing leads to this – use whatever sweetener you’d like. I’ve been using Swerve sweetener, so that’s what I used here. So far this has been one of my preferred low calorie & low carb sweeteners. It doesn’t have much of a funky taste and a little goes a long way. I actually use less than what the bag recommends.

If you have no dietary restrictions than go ahead and use good old granulated sugar. I’d suggest 1 -2 tablespoon depending on taste.

Pancakes for everyone! Enjoy!

    Using cottage cheese in pancakes is a great idea, Amanda! They look wonderfully moist, and I like the white specks. I play around with unconventional ways to use cottage cheese too. It’s such an underused ingredient.

      Thanks so much Thao!
      I love using cottage cheese in all kinds of foods…but only the 4% kind. I can’t stand the skim varieties 🙂
