W a i t . . . there's Cottage Cheese in Here? Pancakes






I'll admit we were leery at first of cottage cheese pancakes. Wouldn't they taste too healthy?
After all, we want tasty pancakes, not vitamins for our Sunday breakfast!

But, these turned out to be some of our best pancakes yet. The whole wheat pastry flour & beaten eggs kept them light, while the cinnamon sweetened them up. The barely noticeable cottage cheese added a subtle richness. 

W a i t . . . there's Cottage Cheese in Here? Pancakes
INGREDIENTS 
serves 4+
slightly adapted from Be Fit with Kristen
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt 
2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (we recommend honey or date sugar)
1 tablespoon cinnamon (we promise it's not overpowering)
1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cups milk of choice (we use whole milk)
4 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons soft organic coconut oil (or neutral oil of choice/melted butter)




O & his cousins help our favorite farmer wash the eggs.



DIRECTIONS


Mix all ingredients. Add eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla extract and mix until well-blended.


Drop the batter onto a heated, oiled pan in 1/4 cup portions. Cook on low until the top starts to bubble (usually about 5 minutes). Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 -2 minutes.


Yum!

We will make these again!




Some photos from our Farmer's Market trip yesterday. First one of the year- so much fun to see old friends and watch the local produce trickle in.








See you next Sunday!
