Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.75 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1.5 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen; if frozen, do not thaw
  • maple syrup or fresh whipped cream for serving

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • separate mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • griddle or large skillet
  • Spatula
  • measuring cup (1/3 cup)

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl lightly beat the eggs, then add the milk, cottage cheese, and vanilla and whisk until blended.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Fold the blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
  5. Heat a buttered griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/3-cup scoops onto the hot surface, leaving space between pancakes.
  6. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook the second side until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes more.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes warm if desired, and serve warm with maple syrup or whipped cream and extra blueberries.

Notes

  • To freeze: layer cooled pancakes between waxed paper and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
  • Before freezing, squeeze excess air from the bag to prevent freezer burn.
  • To reheat in the oven: cover pancakes on a baking pan and heat at 375°F for 6–8 minutes.
  • To reheat in the microwave: heat 3–4 pancakes for about 40 seconds or until warm.
