Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Apple Filling
- 1 apple (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
For Cooking
- Butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined to form a thick pancake batter.
- Prepare the apple mixture: In a separate bowl, toss the diced apple cubes with ground cinnamon and brown sugar until evenly coated.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Add batter and apple filling: Pour a ladleful of pancake batter onto the hot skillet, then quickly top it with a spoonful of the cinnamon apple mixture, pressing the apples lightly into the batter.
- Cook the pancakes: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, until bubbles start to form and edges look set, then carefully flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.
- Serve warm: Remove from the skillet and serve the apple stuffed cottage cheese pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, additional butter, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Make sure the skillet is not too hot to prevent burning before the inside cooks through.
- You can substitute the apple with pears or berries if preferred.
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Use low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese based on preference; this will affect creaminess and nutritional content.
- Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
