Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings Yield: 8-10 pancakes (serves 2-3 people)

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 cup chestnut flour (for that nutty, gluten-free magic)
½ cup cottage cheese (creamy, protein-packed goodness)
2 large eggs (to bind it all together)
½ cup milk (or your favorite plant-based milk)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a touch of sweetness)
1 teaspoon baking powder (for that perfect fluff)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (because every pancake deserves a hint of luxury)
Pinch of salt (to balance the flavors)
Butter or oil (for that golden, crispy edge)

How to Make the Perfect Chestnut Flour Pancakes

Step 1: Whip Up the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the chestnut flour, baking powder, and salt. This is where the nutty magic begins!
In another bowl, mix the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth. Pro tip: Blend the cottage cheese first if you want a silky-smooth batter.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed. The batter should be thick but pourable – think cozy sweater weather in pancake form.

Step 2: Cook to Golden Perfection

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Let them sizzle and bubble for 2-3 minutes until the edges set and the bottoms turn golden.
Flip with confidence and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they’re fluffy and golden on both sides.

Step 3: Top, Serve, and Devour

Stack those beauties high and top with your favorites:
- Fresh berries for a pop of color
- A drizzle of maple syrup for sweetness
- A dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess
- A sprinkle of chopped nuts for crunch
Grab a fork, dig in, and prepare to be amazed.

Pro Tips for Pancake Perfection

Batter Too Thick? Add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
Batter Too Thin? Sprinkle in a bit more chestnut flour.
Make-Ahead Magic: Prep the batter the night before and store it in the fridge for a stress-free morning.
Blend for Smoothness: If you’re not a fan of cottage cheese texture, blend it before mixing for a silky-smooth batter.

Why Homemade Beats Boxed Mix Every Time
