Instructions:
1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 4 eggs until they are well beaten.
- Add in the 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the eggs. Mix well until you achieve a consistent texture.
2. Melt the Butter:
- In a small saucepan or microwaveable bowl, melt the 2 tbsp of butter. Set it aside to cool slightly.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of whole-grain wheat flour, 2 tsp sugar, a dash of salt, 1.5 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Ensure that the dry ingredients are well mixed.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously. Slowly pour in the 1/2 cup of milk while mixing, ensuring the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the melted butter into the batter and mix thoroughly to combine all elements.
5. Prepare the Peach:
- Wash, peel, and pit the peach. Slice it into thin wedges or small chunks depending on your preference.
6. Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Quickly place a few pieces of peach on top of the batter.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look slightly dry, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.
7. Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as a dollop of additional butter and a sprinkle of sugar, maple syrup, or even more fresh peach slices.
Tips:
- Make sure to use ripe peaches for the best flavor. You can also substitute with other fruits like berries or apples if you prefer.
- For a smoother batter, blend the cottage cheese before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven at a low temperature while you finish cooking the rest of the batch.
- Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of Greek yogurt for an added twist.
Serve your Cinnamon-Peach Cottage Cheese Pancakes warm, topped with a pat of butter and a sprinkle of sugar for an extra touch of indulgence. Enjoy the perfect blend of flavors and textures in each bite. These pancakes are sure to become a new breakfast favorite in your home!
