These might look like pancakes, but they’re not. Trust me, once you try them, your life will never be the same.

✨ What Are They, Then?

Call them cottage cheese pancakes, ricotta griddle cakes, potato latkes with a twist, or even yogurt flapjacks — whatever the official name, the point is: they’re not your average mix-from-a-box pancakes.

They might be made with:

• Creamy cottage cheese or ricotta
• Mashed banana or sweet potato
• Greek yogurt
• Oats or almond flour instead of white flour
• Lightly sweetened with honey or vanilla
• Or even a savory twist with herbs and cheese

The result? Something that’s hearty, protein-packed, and full of flavor — without being heavy or dry.
