Ingredients
  • 1 pound Low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup Multigrain oatmeal
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 3 tablespoon Honey
  • 2 tablespoon Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground cardamom
  • 6 Egg Whites
Directions
  1. 1
    In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, whole wheat flour, multigrain oatmeal, egg yolks, honey, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cardamom. Stir until well blended and smooth.
  2. 2
    In a separate clean large bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer until they form stiff peaks. Ensure the bowl is grease-free for best results.
  3. 3
    Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture in two additions. Use a spatula and fold carefully to retain as much air as possible.
  4. 4
    Preheat the oven to 200ðF (93ðC) to keep the cooked pancakes warm.
  5. 5
    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with vegetable oil.
  6. 6
    Spoon the batter onto the skillet using a 1/3-cup measure, spreading slightly to form 4-inch diameter pancakes.
  7. 7
    Cook the pancakes until the bottoms are golden brown and bubbles begin to form on the surface, approximately 3 minutes.
  8. 8
    Carefully flip the pancakes and cook on the second side until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
  9. 9
    Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and place them in the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
  10. 10
    Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, brushing the skillet with oil as needed.
  11. 11
    Serve the pancakes immediately, topped with your choice of fruit salad or compote.
