Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- The batter should be thick, but if it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of water or almond milk to loosen it slightly.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Once the butter has melted, scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: Serve
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm. Top with a dollop of sour cream, sugar-free syrup, or fresh berries (optional).
Notes
✔ Don’t overmix the batter – It should be thick, but mixing too much can make the pancakes dense.
✔ Adjust the heat – If the pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat slightly to ensure they cook through.
✔ Add-ins – Feel free to mix in some sugar-free chocolate chips or unsweetened shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
✔ Make them extra fluffy – If you like extra fluff, beat the egg whites separately and fold them into the batter for an airier texture.
