Mama's Blender Pancakes

I can't help it, I want to share a recipe that I have now made three times with amazing kid success. What I love about this recipe is that it's super simple to make, clean-up is reasonable, and it has ingredients that are good for growing kids. Winner in my book!

This recipe makes pancakes so light that it's close to a crepe. Almost Swedish pancake-esque but without all the hassle of whipping up egg whites.

• 6 eggs
  
• 1 cup cottage cheese
  
• 1/2 cup flour
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp oil (I use canola)
• 1/4 cup milk
  
• 1/2 tsp vanilla

In a blender combine all the ingredients and blend thoroughly. Heat griddle over medium heat and pour batter straight from the blender onto hot griddle - about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Once bubbles begin to form, flip the pancakes and finish cooking on the opposite side.

Personal notes: My kids like it with peanut butter, but I bet it would be divine with fresh berries or anything else you might eat on a crepe. To cut down on the yolks I use 4 whole eggs and the whites from 3 eggs. I use 1% cottage cheese and milk. I use half whole wheat for the flour. I plan to try it with oatmeal the next time I make these.
