Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large egg
• 1 medium apple
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing)
• 0 powdered sugar or maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and finely grate the apple. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Add the cottage cheese to the bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the grated apple, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 8

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them a few inches apart.

Step 9

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 11

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or your favorite topping.
