Avocado is the secret ingredient in these delicious pancakes.
- 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
- 1¼ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 3 eggs, separated yolks and whites
- ½ medium avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
- ½ cup white, all purpose flour
- ½ cup whole-wheat flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon white, granulated sugar
- Dash salt
- Cooking spray, canola oil or butter, for frying
- Maple syrup, for serving
- In a bowl, combine wet ingredients (cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and egg yolks). Fold in diced avocado, making sure not to crush or mash – they should remain distinct in the batter.
- In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients (white flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, sugar and salt).
- Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients, stirring only until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites by hand until frothy but not dry. Lightly fold egg whites into pancake mixture – egg whites should remain distinct in the batter (this is what makes the pancakes fluffy). Batter will appear very thick.
- Heat a lightly oiled or buttered large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Spoon ½ cup of batter for each pancake onto hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes or until browned. Flip with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until browned on the other side.
- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar and your favorite maple syrup.
