Can I use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese?

While you can use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese, I highly recommend sticking with the full-fat variety for the best texture and flavor. The extra richness and creaminess from the full-fat cottage cheese really makes all the difference in these pancakes.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

Absolutely! The batter can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to cook. Just give it a quick stir before scooping onto the griddle.

Can I add any mix-ins to the batter?

Definitely! Feel free to get creative and fold in shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped herbs, chocolate chips, or whatever else sounds good to you. The possibilities are endless!

How do I get the pancakes extra fluffy?

The key to light and fluffy cottage cheese pancakes is to avoid overmixing the batter. Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined, leaving a few small lumps.

Can I freeze the cooked pancakes?

Yes, you can absolutely freeze the cooked pancakes! Let them cool completely, then arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and pop in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and they'll keep for up to 2 months.
