INGREDIENTS

  • 4 large eggs pasture-raised
  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat
  • 1 ½ cup finely ground almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon allulose or sweetener of choice
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder aluminum free
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon Ceylon variety is better
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add all ingredients to a blender in the order specified.
  • Blend 20-30 seconds, until combined.
  • Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This will make fluffy pancakes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a pancake griddle on medium-low heat or 325℉, then grease as needed. I use a non-stick griddle and no oil is required.
  • Pour ¼ cup batter on to the skillet to make each pancake.
  • Allow each pancake to cook until bubbles form and edges are set. This can take up to 4 minutes before you can flip them over. Cook until center is done, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

NOTES

  • Do not add almond flour to the blender first as it will stick to the bottom instead of incorporating into the batter.
  • Avoid over-blending as this can cause the pancake mixture to become less fluffy.
