Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage cheese (drain any extra liquid on top, if any)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil (plus more as needed, for frying)
Dry Ingredients
- 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
- 1/8 tsp Sea salt
Instructions
- Blend Wet Ingredients: Place the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender. Blend until smooth to create a creamy base for the pancakes.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add almond flour, einkorn flour (or tapioca flour), monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender. Blend again just until all ingredients are combined into a smooth batter.
- Heat Pan and Add Oil: Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of avocado oil, spreading it evenly to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour batter into the skillet in 1/8 cup portions to form pancake circles. Fry for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, edges dry slightly, and a spatula can slip underneath easily.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
- Repeat: Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more avocado oil to the skillet as needed to keep pancakes from sticking and ensure even browning.
Notes
- Using einkorn flour adds a slight nutty flavor and keeps the pancakes gluten-free when substituted with tapioca flour.
- Drain cottage cheese well to avoid excess moisture which can thin the batter.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your stove and skillet to prevent burning.
- These pancakes are best served warm with toppings like fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute cottage cheese with a firm tofu blended smoothly.
