Ingredients

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup blanched almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Make the batter:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the ingredients inside the blender jar in the order listed: cottage cheese, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, almond flour, and baking powder.
  2. Blend for 45 seconds, until the almond flour has fully incorporated and you have a smooth batter. The batter will be thick.
Cook the pancakes:
  1. Heat a non-stick surface over medium heat. Once hot, grease it with oil, butter, or spray. Immediately pour up to ¼ cup of batter, and use the back of the spoon or scoop to smooth it out on the hot surface. Cook the first side for about 2 minutes and when the edges begin to look defined and they lift easily from the surface, flip the pancakes over.
  2. Cook the second side for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, making sure not to press the pancakes down with the spatula. Remove the pancakes from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve:
  1. Serve the pancakes hot topped with your favorite toppings.
Storage:
  1. This recipe only makes about 6 pancakes. Refrigerate leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.

Notes

  • These pancakes are not very sweet. You can add 4 to 6 drops of liquid stevia to the batter before blending or 1 tablespoon of granulated sweetener, such as Stevia or Monkfruit, to sweeten it.
