Cottage Cheese Pancakes

3.6

(13)

These wholesome flapjacks are filled with the energy-boosting carbohydrates found in whole wheat flour and multigrain oatmeal. The fat is kept down by using low-fat cottage cheese, only two egg yolks and just two tablespoons of milk. To cook the pancakes, make sure to use a nonstick skillet brushed lightly with oil. Top them with the Peach and Berry Salad, and serve with reduced-fat sausages.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 pound low-fat cottage cheese
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup multigrain oatmeal
2 egg yolks
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
6 egg whites
Vegetable oil
Accompaniment: Peach and Berry Salad

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix cottage cheese, flour, oatmeal, egg yolks, honey, milk, vanilla and cardamom in large bowl. Beat whites in another large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into cottage cheese mixture in 2 additions.

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 200°F. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush with oil. Spoon batter onto skillet by 1/3 cupfuls, forming 4-inch-diameter pancakes. Cook pancakes until bottoms are brown and bubbles form on top, about 3 minutes. Turn; cook until bottoms are brown and pancakes are cooked through, about 4 minutes.

  2. Step 3

    Transfer to plate and place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately; pass Peach and Berry Salad to spoon over pancakes.
