- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Grated low-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- 0 Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk together until well-blended and slightly smooth.
Step 2
Add the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt into the cheese and egg mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the low-fat milk and olive oil, continuing to mix until you achieve a smooth batter.
Step 4
Fold in the grated low-fat cheddar cheese and chopped fresh chives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, spraying it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 6
Pour a small ladleful of batter onto the skillet, using the back of the ladle to spread the batter into a round pancake.
Step 7
Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until you see small bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.
Step 8
Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
Step 10
Serve these delightful low-fat cheese pancakes warm, optionally garnished with extra chives or a dollop of low-fat sour cream.
