Tips & Variations

  • Substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones if fresh are unavailable, adding them directly without thawing.
  • Add a handful of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and nutrition.

Storage

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster or microwave until heated through. You can also freeze pancakes for up to 2 months and reheat directly from frozen for a quick breakfast.

FAQs

Can I use a different pancake mix?

Yes, you can substitute Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes with your favorite high-protein or whole wheat pancake mix for a similar texture and flavor.

Is it necessary to use cottage cheese?

Cottage cheese adds moisture and protein while keeping pancakes tender. If unavailable, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute with slightly different texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes pancake mix
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

For Cooking

  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare wet ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat cottage cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy base for the pancake batter.
  2. Combine dry ingredients. Add the Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes pancake mix and ground cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can make pancakes tough.
  3. Incorporate blueberries. Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully, reserving some for topping if desired to add bursts of fruity freshness on the pancakes later.
  4. Preheat cooking surface. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook pancakes – first side. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, signaling readiness to flip.
  6. Cook pancakes – second side. Flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring a fluffy interior and a nicely browned exterior.
  7. Keep warm. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while repeating the cooking process with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve. Serve the pancakes hot, topped with extra blueberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, avoid overmixing the batter.
  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent batter from turning blue.
  • Adjust milk quantity if batter is too thick or thin for desired consistency.
  • You can substitute low-fat cottage cheese with regular cottage cheese if preferred.
  • These pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for convenience.
