Real Food Day 9: Whole Wheat Cottage Cheese Pancakes

As I promised in my menu plan, I am going to share my whole wheat cottage cheese pancake recipe.  I have mentioned this recipe before, but I tried it out with whole wheat to follow our real food rules and they turned out wonderful!

I never would have thought to use whole wheat flour prior to this challenge, and I'm so glad I made them this way. I'll never go back!


Here is the recipe

Whole Wheat Cottage Cheese Pancakes 

3 eggs, beaten

1 cup cottage cheese

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup whole wheat flour

2 Tbs melted butter

1 tsp lemon juice (optional)

Beat eggs and mix everything in with the eggs. Oil a skillet and pour batter by the 1/8 cup. Once they are slightly browned on both sides, serve with maple syrup and/or lemon juice

I know this concept sounds disgusting, but these are the best pancakes! I prefer them over regular pancakes.  They are a family tradition on my husband's side and we make them all the time.  I love that I can boost the nutrition by adding the whole wheat flour.  If you  use real maple syrup, you can have a super healthy and protein packed breakfast with just a touch of natural sweetener! (And they are super yummy with powdered sugar as pictured, but we refrained this time around since that's technically refined sugar!)

You seriously have to try them!!
