Nutrition per serving may change if servings are adjusted.
1⅓ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
¾ cup low-fat milk
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups blueberries
Preparation
Active
Ready In
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
Whisk eggs, cottage cheese, milk, lemon zest and vanilla in a medium bowl.
Make a well in the dry ingredients; add wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in blueberries.
Moisten a crumpled paper towel with canola oil and use it to lightly oil a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat. Spoon on about ¼ cup batter for each pancake and cook until bottoms are golden and small bubbles start to form on top, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is browned, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Lightly oil pan between batches. (Adjust heat as necessary for even browning.) Serve hot.
Fluffy Yumminess!
A light fluffy pancake creation has evaded me until today and this recipe. It is an extra bonus to enjoy the blueberry-lemon flavors - a fave and sooooo.... gooood! Served drizzled with maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream - Perfection!

These were very tasty, the lemon zest really makes a difference. The batter is quite thick so they take quite a while to cook and because of the blueberries they stick to the pan. If I can figure out how to thin these down just a bit I think they would be much better. As it is the center seems not quite cooked. I serve w/ just a very light sprinkle of sugar.

healthy & fluffy
I subbed in 2/3 c. whole wheat flour, cut back the sugar & vanilla a bit, omitted lemon zest, and added blueberries as a topping and they came out nicely.

Absolutely the best blueberry pancakes ever!!!!!
My 3 kids and a very picky husband absolutely loved the pancakes. This recipe would be our favorite weekend treat.
Pros: Fluffy, just enough sugar, moist.
Cons: NONE

Awesome! I love the cottage cheese in these! I want to try some variations maybe... replacing the blueberries with bananas and the lemon with cinnamon? Other seasonal fruits would be nice too.

these were possibly the best pancakes i've ever made! the cottage cheese made them so light and fluffy and of course i didn't add the blueberries till i poured out each individual pancake. i didn't add the lemon zest either (i'm not a big on lemony taste)
overall five stars! i'm definitely going to be making these again and again
