Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2½ teaspoons baking powder
- ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 3 large egg whites
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- vegetable oil
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and protein powder in a large bowl, creating a well in the center.
- Pulse the cottage cheese in a mini food processor, adding milk if needed to reach the right consistency.
- Use a handheld mixer with the whip attachment to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, starting on low speed and increasing over 3 to 6 minutes.
- Pour the blended cottage cheese, egg yolks, milk, maple syrup, and melted butter into the well of the flour mixture. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until just incorporated.
- Preheat a lightly oiled skillet over medium-low heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook until golden on the other side.
