What You'll Need
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoon butter, divided
What to Do
- In a large bowl, combine 1-1/4 cups flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla; blend until smooth. Pour cottage cheese mixture into flour mixture and stir until well combined. Mixture will be sticky.
- Place remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish. Place about 1/4 cup or 2 medium cookie scoops of dough into flour. Place a teaspoon of chocolate chips in center of dough ball. and pinch dough together to cover chocolate chips. Sprinkle flour over the top. Flatten the ball with the palm of your hand into a patty shape, and remove any excess flour.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Melt 1 tablespoon butter, then place patties onto the griddle. Cook 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on top of pancakes. Flip pancakes, and cook 1-2 minutes more, or until golden. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed. Cover to keep warm.
Notes
You can make these stuffed cottage cheese pancakes your own by changing the chocolate chip filling inside (like using white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips!). We also like to garnish our pancakes with some banana slices, for an extra dose of yumminess!
