Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, diced
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
- Maple syrup, honey, or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, then mix until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- Cook the Pancake Bites: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet, forming small pancake bites. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancake bites warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to swap the strawberries for other berries or fruit like blueberries or banana slices.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the skillet or microwave.
