Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and sweetener (if using).
Add almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir until combined. For extra smooth pancakes, blend the mixture for 20-30 seconds.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

Heat butter or coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the skillet.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip gently and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy!

Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Keto-Friendly Topping Ideas

Butter & Sugar-Free Syrup – Classic and satisfying.
Fresh Berries – Adds natural sweetness and fiber.
Whipped Cream – A light and airy touch.
Chopped Nuts – For a crunchy texture.
Nut Butter – Adds richness and extra protein.

Notes

Don’t Overmix the Batter: A few lumps are okay—it keeps the pancakes fluffy.
Use a Non-Stick Pan: To prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Make Them Extra Fluffy: Blend the batter for a smoother texture.
Adjust Thickness: If the batter is too thick, add 1 tbsp almond milk at a time.
