- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, flour, sugar (if using), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
- Spoon the batter into the skillet to form small pancakes (about 2–3 tablespoons each).
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm.
- Top the pancakes with Greek yogurt, raspberries, strawberries, pumpkin seeds, and pine nuts.
- Drizzle with honey and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
- Feel free to swap in other berries or toppings of your choice.
- For a gluten-free option, use almond or oat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
