Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Non-stick pan or griddle
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat
- 3 large eggs room temp
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Optional: 1 tsp cinnamon blueberries or banana slices, lemon zest
Instructions
- Blend everything up: Add cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, vanilla, and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
- Add dry ingredients: Add coconut flour and baking powder to the blender. Pulse a few times to mix. Let the batter sit for 3-5 minutes to thicken.
- Heat your pan: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and add a tiny bit of butter or coconut oil. The pan is ready when water droplets sizzle.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Serve warm: Transfer pancakes to a plate and cover with a towel while cooking the remaining pancakes.
Notes
These pancakes are super versatile! You can add various toppings like fresh berries, sautéed apples, or sugar-free maple syrup. For a savory option, skip the sweetener and add chopped chives and parmesan.
