Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated, ensuring no large lumps remain.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the almond flour to absorb moisture and the mixture to slightly thicken.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter to lightly coat the cooking surface.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring scoop, pour batter onto the heated surface, leaving space between each pancake for easy flipping.
- Cook the pancakes for approximately 2-3 minutes on the first side, watching for small bubbles to form on the surface and the edges to look slightly dry.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a thin spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with remaining batter, adding butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve warm with optional keto-friendly toppings such as sugar-free syrup, berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Whisk Thoroughly: Make sure to whisk the batter well to avoid any lumps. A smooth batter ensures even cooking and fluffy pancakes.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes before cooking. This helps the almond flour absorb moisture, resulting in thicker and fluffier pancakes.
- Control the Heat: Cook the pancakes on medium-low heat to prevent burning. This allows the insides to cook through while achieving a golden-brown exterior.
- Use a Non-Stick Surface: A non-stick skillet or griddle is essential for easy flipping. If you don’t have one, make sure to use enough butter to prevent sticking.
- Watch for Bubbles: Keep an eye on the pancakes; when small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, it’s time to flip!
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Try serving with sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, or even a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Store Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They reheat beautifully in the microwave or on the skillet for a quick breakfast option later!
