Step-by-Step Instructions for Cottage Cheese Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, baking powder, and flour. Whisk until well blended and thick yet pourable.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add canola oil and coat the surface evenly.
  3. Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
  4. Flip pancakes and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. They should feel fluffy and slightly springy.
  5. Serve hot with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fruits, or yogurt.
