Cottage Cheese and Sweet Potato Pancakes

Cottage cheese and sweet potato pancakes


Start your day with these delicious and gluten-free cottage cheese and sweet potato pancakes.

Apart from being super tasty, they are also rich in healthy nutrients and protein.

I serve the pancakes with arugula/rocket leaves, avocado, Greek yogurt, and a dash of chilli sauce, which makes them even tastier, healthier, and more filling. 

It might not be the kind of breakfast you whip up before heading to work. You can prepare the batter the evening before, though, to make it quicker.

These pancakes are tasty even when cold. Make them in the evening and add them to a lunchbox the next day.

Make several small pancakes rather than bigger ones because, as there is no flour in the batter, smaller ones are easier to flip.

Cottage Cheese and Sweet Potato Pancakes

For the pancake batter:

2 heaped tablespoons grated sweet potatoes

3 tablespoons natural cottage cheese

2 eggs

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1 scallion/spring onion finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Either some avocado oil or olive oil for frying

To serve:

arugula/rocket leaves

Sliced avocado

Greek yogurt

chilli sauce (optional)

  1. Heat up your oven to 150C/300F and cover a baking tray with parchment paper. 
  2. Whisk together all the ingredients for the batter. Add a small amount oil to a frying pan over a medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add a tablespoon of the batter to the pan and use the spoon to spread it out before adding another spoonful of batter, and so on. I can fit 3 pancakes into my pan.
  3. Fry for about 2 minutes - until nicely browned - before flipping the pancakes over and fry for a further 2 minutes. Once ready, transfer the pancakes to the baking tray and place it in the oven. Add some more oil to the frying pan if needed and continue to fry until you have used up all the batter.

Serve the pancakes with the green leaves, avocado, greek yogurt, and the optional chilli sauce. Bon Apetit!
