Cottage Cheese Pancakes with Maple Syrup-Sweetened Berries

 

2 large eggs

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup all-purpose unbleached flour

1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese

 

1 tablespoon canola oil

 

1 cup rinsed whole, sliced or mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries or raspberries

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

 

Put all the pancake ingredients in a bowl. Using an immersion blender or rotary beaters, blend for about 15 to 20 seconds. Don’t overbeat. In a non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Cook each pancake for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, depending on how hot your skillet is. Put the finished pancakes on a serving dish while you make the remaining pancakes. For the topping, mix the berries and maple syrup in a microwavable bowl. Warm in the microwave for 30 seconds. Pour over pancakes or set aside for self-serve.
