Blueberry Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cottage cheese, preferably low-fat
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!
4. Fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, additional blueberries, or a dollop of yogurt.
