Description

This single serve cottage cheese pancake recipe creates a fluffy, protein-packed breakfast treat perfect for a quick morning meal. Combining creamy cottage cheese, egg, and a touch of flour, this pancake is light, slightly tangy, and delicious when served with butter and maple syrup. It’s an easy recipe that comes together fast with blending and stovetop cooking.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancake Batter

  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese (4% milkfat)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or 2 1/2 tablespoons gluten free all-purpose flour)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For Cooking and Serving

  • 1/2 tablespoon butter (for frying)
  • Butter and maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Make Batter: Add cottage cheese, egg, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to a blender in that order. Blend until the batter is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Melt Butter: Place a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and allow it to warm for about one minute. Add the butter and let it melt completely, coating the surface of the pan.
  3. Cook Pancake: Pour the blended pancake batter into the hot, buttered pan. For a single large pancake, pour it all in at once to form one thick pancake.
  4. Flip and Finish: Allow the pancake to cook until bubbles start forming on the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Check the underside for a golden brown color, then carefully flip the pancake. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fully cooked through and golden on both sides.
  5. Serve: Transfer the pancake to a plate. Serve warm topped with butter and maple syrup, or add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit or yogurt.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten free all-purpose flour instead of regular flour.
  • You can adjust the amount of baking powder slightly if you prefer a thicker or thinner pancake texture.
  • Use a good nonstick pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
  • If you don’t have a blender, you can mix the ingredients by hand until smooth but the batter may be slightly lumpier.
  • The batter makes one large, filling pancake, perfect for a single serving or a quick breakfast.
