Single Serve Cottage Cheese Pancake

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I Love This Pancake Because It Delivers The Best Of Both Worlds—A Soft, Fluffy Texture With A Boost Of Protein From The Cottage Cheese. It’s Just One Pancake, Which Makes It Perfect For A Quick Single-Serve Breakfast Without Extra Leftovers. The Kids Think It Tastes Like A Classic Pancake, But I Know It’s More Filling And Nutritious. It’s Also Versatile—I Can Keep It Traditional With Butter And Maple Syrup Or Dress It Up With Fresh Fruit And Yogurt.
