Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda, stirring well to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat cottage cheese, plain yogurt, skim milk, and a splash of oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined, ensuring not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm up sufficiently to achieve that perfect golden-brown finish.
- Using a measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake, spacing them out to allow for spreading.
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2 minutes, then flip them carefully to cook the other side until golden brown, which should take another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as flavored yogurt and a generous drizzle of pure maple syrup.
Enjoy these nutritious and delicious pancakes that are sure to brighten your morning!
