Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tbsp almond flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet version)
• Pinch of salt
• Butter or coconut oil for cooking

Equipment

• 1 Mixing Bowl
• 1 Whisk or Fork
• 1 Non-stick skillet or frying pan
• 1 Spatula
• 1 Measuring Spoons and Cups

Method

 

1. Whisk the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them thoroughly until smooth and slightly frothy.
2. Add Dry and Wet Ingredients: Stir in the cottage cheese, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until the batter is well combined.
3. Rest the Batter: Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes so the almond flour can absorb some moisture. This helps the pancakes hold their shape.
4. Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or coconut oil.
5. Scoop and Shape the Batter: Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake into the skillet. Gently shape each into a round pancake.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Cook each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully to avoid breaking them.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm with keto-friendly toppings like sugar-free syrup, berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

• Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and keto macros.
• Blend the batter for a smoother pancake (optional).
• Keep pancakes small to make flipping easier.
• Cook over medium heat to avoid burning before the centers are cooked.
• Customize with flavour add-ins like herbs, spices, or cheese.
