EASY COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES
A simple brunch dish, savory side, or main dish that can be varied to taste. I enjoy eating cottage cheese pancakes with Indian-inspired toppings, sometimes spiced with curry or ginger, and with chutney and a sour pickle on the side. Add fry bread and a bean salad for a full meal. Feel free to add any spice, fruit puree, seeds, dried fruit, bits of meat or cheese, beans, or condiments to the batter, between 1 tablespoon and 1/2 cup.

EASY HEALTHY COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES
Savory pancake, great any time of the day. I adore Sharon123's cottage cheese pancakes (#348917), so I modified it to something I can feel good about eating almost every day. I love to sprinkle a little bit of sea salt on these after they're done, and eat them with additional fat-free cottage cheese. My husband likes them with sugar-free pancake syrup. Sometimes I use butter instead of the cooking spray, but obviously that changes the calories a bit. ;)

Steps:
- Combine the first four ingredients, and spray griddle with cooking spray.
- For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of the mixture onto the hot griddle.
- Flip when the first side is golden, then remove from heat when the other side is golden. Serve.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Cottage Cheese: Opt for a smooth, creamy cottage cheese with a mild flavor. Avoid large curds or cottage cheese with added ingredients.
- Proper Mixing: Ensure the batter is well-blended and free of lumps. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
- Cooking Temperature: Maintain medium-low heat throughout the cooking process to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Patience is Key: Allow the pancakes to cook undisturbed until bubbles form on the surface before flipping. Flipping too early can cause the pancakes to break.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy the pancakes with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Cottage cheese pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast option that combines the protein-rich goodness of cottage cheese with the fluffy texture of traditional pancakes. The addition of cottage cheese not only enhances the nutritional value but also contributes to a moist and tender texture. Whether you prefer simple pancakes or ones adorned with various toppings, these cottage cheese pancakes are sure to delight your taste buds.
