Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup egg whites
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons butter for frying
Instructions
- In a blender, add cottage cheese, eggs, egg whites, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon.
- Blend until smooth and pour into a large shallow plate with edges.
- Dip bread slices into the mixture on both sides. Allow them to soak for a few minutes per side since batter is thicker and whole wheat bread is denser, flipping a few times. I also pierce them with a fork to help soak through, especially near the crusts.
- Preheat large skillet on low-medium heat and add a bit of butter to melt and coat.
- Place bread slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer onto a plate and repeat with remaining ingredients, lowering the heat if needed.
- Serve with maple syrup, Greek yogurt and berries.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a microwave, air fryer or toaster oven for a few minutes.
- Freeze: Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or on a counter for 1-2 hours.
