Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cottage cheese (drained of any excess liquid)
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 2/3 cup Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/3 cup Einkorn flour (or tapioca flour for gluten free)
  • 2 tbsp Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 tbsp Avocado oil (plus more as needed for frying)

Instructions

  1. Blend Wet Ingredients: Place the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps in the batter.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients and Blend: Add the almond flour, einkorn flour (or tapioca flour if you prefer gluten free), Besti monk fruit allulose blend, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender. Blend the mixture again just until all ingredients are combined; avoid overblending to keep pancakes tender.
  3. Heat Skillet and Fry Pancakes: Heat one tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the batter in 1/8 cup portions to form small pancake circles in the pan. Fry each pancake for 2 to 3 minutes until you see lots of bubbles on the surface, the edges start to dry out, and you can slide a spatula underneath without sticking.
  4. Flip and Cook Other Side: Carefully flip each pancake and fry for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the other side turns golden brown.
  5. Repeat and Serve: Continue frying the remaining batter, adding more avocado oil if the skillet becomes dry. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • You can substitute einkorn flour with tapioca flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese to avoid a runny batter.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to ensure pancakes brown without burning.
  • Optional toppings include fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
