Cottage Cheese Pancake Bites
These quick and easy pancake bites combine bright lemon flavor and juicy blueberries with the filling goodness of cottage cheese, making them a perfect grab-and-go breakfast.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese small curd is easiest, but any works
- 2 large eggs
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice from 1 lemon
- 1 zest of 1 lemon adds bright flavor
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup oat flour or blended oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- a pinch salt
- 1/2 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
- butter or oil for the pan optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
- Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth. Alternatively, whisk together if you prefer some texture.
- Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Adjust the consistency with milk if too thick or more flour if too thin.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Spoon the batter into a mini muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Baking
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the tops are set. Let cool for a few minutes before lifting them out.
Notes
Do not overbake; remove them when they look dry on top. Use plenty of lemon zest for flavor, and frozen blueberries can be added straight from the freezer.
