Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla and honey (if using) in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flour, baking soda and salt and blend again until combined. Leave to sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- For the topping, place the yoghurt and desiccated coconut in a small bowl and mix until well combined. Cover with plastic film and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat a non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat and spray lightly with oil spray. Pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles rise to the surface and the underside is golden brown. Use a spatula to flip and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm.
- Repeat with the remaining batter until finished.
- To serve, divide the pancakes over two serving plates and top with the mango, coconut yoghurt, coconut flakes and lime zest. Enjoy!
