Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk (low fat or any preferred type)
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil for cooking
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Stir until the flour is well incorporated.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, sugar, and milk until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the pancakes tough.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with butter or oil.
Step 5
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, giving enough space between each one.
Step 6
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until small bubbles form on the surface, and the edges start to appear set.
Step 7
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while repeating the process with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, honey, or syrup. Enjoy your delicious low sodium cottage cheese pancakes!
