Calories 257kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup cottage cheese full fat
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup almond flour or see notes above
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon Swerve granular or or see notes above
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoon avocado oil or butter, for frying or coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, sweetener and vanilla to a blender or food processor. You could alternatively add ingredients to a large mixing bowl and use an immersion blender to blend. Process until smooth and combined. Try not to over blend as this will make the pancake texture dense.
- Allow the mix to stand for 5 minutes to firm up the smooth pancake batter.
- Add a little avocado oil or butter to a non-stick pan. Heat on a medium heat. Once hot, add the batter, about ¼ cup per pancake. Cook for 2 - 3 mins per side until golden brown on both sides and crisp edges. The whole batch of batter makes 8 pancakes.
- Serve with optional low carb drizzle of maple syrup and fresh berries or other favourite toppings.
- Note: the batter can be made the day before and kept in the fridge if you need and cooked the next day.
- Storage; Airtight container in the fridge for 2 - 3 days or can be frozen for 2 months.
