Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Cottage cheese is a great addition to pancake batter because it adds moisture and adds a unique flavour that compliments the flavours of breakfast pancakes. Cottage cheese is high in protein to support your little ones growth and development! 

Self-raising flour is an important element of this recipe because it helps the batter rise when cooking. To ensure your pancakes rise and get fluffy, you can use all-purpose flour, just be sure to add a teaspoon of baking powder and one quarter teaspoon of baking soda – together these work as a self-raising flour alternative. 

When it comes to pancakes, there’s no end to what toppings you can include! Fresh fruits, jams, ice-cream, cinnamon, maple syrup, lemon juice – it’s totally up to you and your little ones’ tastes! Adding pancake toppings can add an element of fun and creativity to your kids’ morning routine – be sure to provide a mix of options to let your kids’ creativity (and tastebuds) run wild! 

This recipe creates sweet pancakes but it can easily be tweaked for a savoury take on fluffy pancakes! To make savoury cottage cheese pancakes, follow this recipe but leave out the vanilla extract and maple syrup. Add some herbs and spices instead or top with your favourite savoury fillings, such as tomatoes, spinach, eggs, or bacon.
