Ingredients

  • 1 cup strawberries, halved
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • ⅔ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large pinch Kosher salt
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salted (or unsalted butter) for frying pancakes

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, stir together the strawberries and maple syrup and set aside to macerate.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the pancakes: Whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth and fluffy. Stir in the flour and baking powder last.

  3. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt about a teaspoon of butter and pour in ⅓ cup of the pancake batter. Cook 3+ minutes on the first side, then flip and continue cooking 2-3 minutes, or until the pancake has set. Plate, then continue with the rest of the batter. You should get five large pancakes out of this recipe.

  4. Serve with strawberry maple syrup either on the side or on top!
