Made without any protein powder, these toddler-approved and parent loved pistachio protein pancakes are an elevated classic breakfast. Made with my favorite dark chocolate chunks plus a batter with cottage cheese and eggs, they are ultra fluffy (check the video if you don't believe me!) and ultra delicious! Served with some Greek yogurt, honey, and fresh raspberries - what could be better?!

Heat a large skillet over low to medium heat with a bit of butter.
Using a coffee grinder, blend ⅓ cup pistachios into a powder. Roughly chop up the other ⅓ cup of pistachios.
Blend 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 5 eggs, 2 tbsp honey in a blender for 30 seconds.
In a large bowl, mix the 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, pistachio flour, and cottage cheese mixture. Then, fold in the 1/4 cup chocolate chips and chopped pistachios.
If serving these to toddlers, leave out the chopped pistachios as these can be a choking hazard.
Pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the skillet. Cook for roughly 2 minutes on each side. You'll know it's time to flip when a handful of bubbles start to appear in the batter.
Repeat with all the batter. You should make about 8 pancakes that are 5" in diameter. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
