Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (1% small curd, organic)
  • 3 eggs (large, organic)
  • 1 cup almond flour (Almond+ Nut flour by Nature Eats recommended for fluffiness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener

Instructions

  1. Blend Cottage Cheese: In a small blender like a Nutribullet, add the cottage cheese and blend until it becomes smooth and creamy. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and monk fruit sweetener until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain fluffiness.
  4. Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Hot Cakes: Form 4 large, thick pancakes on the hot griddle. Cook each side for about 3 minutes or until the cakes turn golden and are cooked through. Avoid flipping too early to ensure proper cooking.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, top the hot cakes with maple syrup or your favorite toppings and serve warm for a delightful breakfast.

Notes

  • Using small curd, organic cottage cheese ensures a smoother blend and better texture.
  • Almond+ Nut flour is preferred to achieve super fluffy pancakes, but other almond flours can be used with slight texture variation.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside while leaving the inside raw.
  • These pancakes are gluten-free and suitable for low-sugar diets due to the use of monk fruit sweetener.
