Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup Cottage cheese (drain any extra liquid on top, if any)
  • 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 cottage cheese and eggs: Place the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy batter base.
  2. Add dry ingredients and blend: Add the almond flour, einkorn flour (or tapioca flour), Besti monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender. Blend again just until all ingredients are combined evenly.
  3. Heat skillet and fry pancakes: Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/8 cup of the batter per pancake into the skillet, forming small circles. Cook for 2-3 minutes until you see bubbles forming on top, edges start to dry, and the bottom is golden enough to flip.
  4. Flip and cook other side: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and pancakes are cooked through.
  5. Repeat cooking: Continue frying the remaining batter, adding more avocado oil as needed to prevent sticking, until all pancakes are cooked.

Notes

  • For gluten-free version, substitute einkorn flour with tapioca flour.
  • Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese before blending to avoid watery batter.
  • Adjust oil quantity as needed to ensure pancakes do not stick to the pan.
  • These pancakes are best served warm and can be topped with fresh fruit or syrup as desired.
