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.
