Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese (1 cup): Adds protein and moisture.
- Oats (½ cup, ground into flour or use oat flour): For a hearty, healthy base.
- Whole Wheat Flour (½ cup): Adds fiber and keeps the pancakes light.
- Egg (2 large): Helps bind the pancakes and gives them structure.
- Honey or Maple Syrup (2 tbsp): Natural sweetness.
- Baking Powder (1 tsp): Ensures a fluffy texture.
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp): Adds warmth and flavor.
- Milk (¼ cup, any type): For the right batter consistency.
- Wild Blueberries (1 cup, fresh or frozen): Bursting with flavor and antioxidants.
- Coconut Oil or Butter (for cooking): To prevent sticking.
For Topping:
- Greek Yogurt or Whipped Cottage Cheese
- Extra Blueberries
- Drizzle of Honey or Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Blend the Batter:
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla, and milk until smooth. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a bowl, mix the oat flour, whole wheat flour, and baking powder. Slowly add the blended mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. - Fold in the Blueberries:
Gently fold the wild blueberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix. - Preheat and Grease the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with coconut oil or butter. - Cook the Pancakes:
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown. - Serve and Enjoy:
Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with Greek yogurt, extra blueberries, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter gently to avoid dense pancakes.
- Use Fresh or Frozen Wild Blueberries: Both work well, but if using frozen, don’t thaw them.
- Keep Pancakes Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch.
