Serve
Stack and top with fresh berries, maple syrup, or Greek yogurt. These are best served fresh and warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why add cottage cheese to pancakes?
Cottage cheese adds 24g protein per serving without making pancakes heavy. It also creates an incredibly fluffy, almost soufflé-like texture when blended.
Do cottage cheese pancakes taste different?
They are slightly tangier and fluffier than regular pancakes. Most people prefer them once they try them — the texture is incredibly light and airy.
Can I make the batter the night before?
Yes. Refrigerate the blended batter overnight. In the morning, give it a stir — the batter may have thickened, so add a splash of milk if needed.
