Lemon Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes!

Amazing lemon blueberry cottage cheese pancakes that melt in your mouth!

I am trying to find recipes with more protein these days.

I’ve been keeping track of what I eat with the app called my fitness pal and it shows that I eat too many carbs and not enough protein

BUT I. Love. Carbs.

How to find foods I like with added protein?

A hankering for blueberry lemon pancakes

I had a hankering for some blueberry pancakes this morning so I did a search for pancakes with cottage cheese and found this one from Unfussy Picure and decided to try it out!

DEELICIOUS!!! Really Really good!

It makes a funky batter because there is 1 cup of cottage cheese, 2/3 cup Greek yogurt, 2 eggs, 1 TB melted butter, very little flour only 5 TBS, 1 TBS sugar, and a 1 Tbs lemon juice, lemon peel and a pinch of salt and 1 cup of blueberries that you hand place in the pancakes.

I had to add a bit more flour but even still….

A little tricky to flip

They were hard to flip 🙁 I think my cottage cheese was too runny and too big of curds.

Plus my blueberries were huge too!

But I am telling you they taste sooooo good! A little tangy mixed with sweetness.

They kind of reminded me of a blintz.

I tried turning down the heat on the back burners but they did not get that golden color like the ones in the front.

I think I just needed to add more flour.

Absolutely worth it to make these pancakes

Even though they were hard to flip they were soooo worth making!

My hubby LOOOVED them too! I am going to make these again!

Try them out and let me know if you get them to flip easier.

Equipment

1 non stick skillet
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Whisk

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese drained (I forgot and used a paper towel to soak up some liquid)
2/3 cup Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1 Tbsp butter melted
5 Tbsp Flour
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
Lemon zest of one lemon Does not need to be exact
pinch salt
1 Cup Blueberries Placed on each pancake not added to batter

Instructions

Make Blueberry Lemon cottage cheese batter
Mix up wet ingredients- yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, melted butter (not hot).
In another bowl mix the flour, sugar salt. Add to the wet ingredients.
Add in lemon zest from one lemon and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Cook the pancakes
Spray griddle with a little oil. Heat griddle to medium low (these take a little longer to cook)
Use about a 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Place 4-6 blueberries on each pancake.
Let cook about 4-5 min a side or unti the underside is cooked and pancake holds together enough to flip.
You need to be a little patient with this process in order to keep them intact. You don't want your griddle to hot or too cold. You might have to play with the first one to get the hang of it.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
