Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup cottage cheese (full-fat for keto)
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet pancakes)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt.
- Blend until smooth. If you prefer texture, mix by hand for a slightly lumpy batter.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or coconut oil.
- Pour small circles of batter (about 2-3 tablespoons per pancake) onto the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 3: Serve
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.
Notes
- Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese: This adds richness and keeps the pancakes keto-friendly.
- Don’t Skip the Butter/Oil: Prevents sticking and adds flavor.
- Cook Low and Slow: Avoid high heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
