Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Are you a pancakes, waffles or French Toast kind of person? I’m a mixture of all three, but I think pancakes is the most versatile of the trio.
Lately I’ve been hankering cottage cheese pancakes – and I got nothing but flack from my mom because apparently when she tried to make these for me when I was a kid I totally turned up my nose at them. Well, taste buds change and these are my current go-to pancakes ~ I love to garnish them with raspberries and use agave nectar in lieu of syrup for a lighter taste.

1 tablespoons sugar (optional swap out: 1 tsp. agave nectar)
2 eggs
1/2-3/4th cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup milk (soy, almond, rice or moo-cow)

Cooking spray

OPTIONAL: 1 tsp. lemon zest, 1/2 tsp. vanilla

In a small bowl mix: flour, baking soda, and sugar.

In a separate, larger bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, milk and oil.

Add flour mixture to egg mixture and whisk until thoroughly incorporated.

Spray a large skillet or griddle with cooking spray then heat over medium heat.

Spoon batter onto the skillet, cook, flipping pancakes once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.

Transfer to plates, garnish with berries & syrup and serve.
