They’re healthy. They’re tasty. And even your toddler will eat these pancakes.
Desperate for my kids to eat something–anything!–nutritious for breakfast on Pesach mornings, I adapted my favorite healthy-ish pancake recipe for Pesach use and found myself with a total winner: easy, yom-tov-friendly, high-protein pancakes that my kids love. Top with some maple syrup or honey, chopped fruit, or a dollop of yogurt for a treat that will get kids (and adults) out of bed on even the sleepiest chol hamoed morning.
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup potato starch
- ¼ to a ⅓ cup of sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda (could omit)
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 4 eggs
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Lumps are ok, you don’t need to worry about those.
- Grease a skillet and heat over medium heat. Fry in batches (about ¼ cup batter per pancake), about 2 minutes per side.

My kids gobbled them up this morning. Perfect!
Delicous and healthy ! Perfect finger food to eat on the road
This was a great recipe. I quadrupled the recipe and the grandchildren loved them. They fought over the last few and I would’ve made more if I had more ingredients. Delicious!
My kids loved these better than my chometz ones!
Was a huge winner on pesach! What should I substitute potato starch for during the year? maybe a healthy idea? would whole wheat flour work well?
Looks yum. Regarding the Greek yogurt – what flavor ( plain or vanilla)?
Made this today- they were a huge hit with my especially picky eaters. Used baking powder instead of baking soda and sour cream in place of the Greek yogurt.
These were amazing and did not taste pesach’dig. Thanks for the recipe!

We don’t have any here in israel with a good hechsher
My family is not a fan of cottage cheese. Has anyone tried just doubling the Greek yogurt and leaving out the cheese
Hello, can this be frozen? Thank you in advance 🙂
You do not taste the cottage cheese at all. They are fluffy and delicious!
Came out amazing!
I actually needed to add some extra almond flour but they were a hit! I had to quadruple the recipe to feed the crowd and they were all gone
An amazing recipe, WAY better than my gebrokts pancake recipe. Had to keep making more! Thanks so much!
These are the most delicious pancakes my kids want them during the year
Can you post your regular year-round recipe if they taste like these
I always struggle to find something quick and nutritious during the holiday. These pancakes seem like the perfect solution.
