Lemon Poppy Seed Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients

• 4 Eggs
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1 cup skim milk
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 3 teaspoons poppy seeds

Instructions

In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla, canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk. Blend until smooth.

In a medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and poppy seeds). To the dry ingredients, add the blended wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat, grease or spray if needed. Drop batter by about 1/4 cup onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side (will depend on the heat of your skillet) or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately.
