1/4 cup chopped pecans
12 -
Pinch of ground cinnamon
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine 1 1/2 cups full-fat cottage cheese and 3 large eggs in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain. This forms the essential base for your Fluffy Low Carb Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes.
02 -
To the blended mixture, add 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder, 2 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener blend, and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract. Blend again briefly until just combined.
03 -
Transfer the batter to a bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the psyllium husk powder to thicken the mixture, contributing to the fluffy texture of your Fluffy Low Carb Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes.
04 -
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add 1 tbsp unsalted butter or coconut oil, swirling to coat the pan. Ensure the heat is not too high to prevent burning the delicate pancakes.
05 -
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring perfect Fluffy Low Carb Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
06 -
While pancakes cook, combine 1 cup fresh mixed berries, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and a pinch of ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Have 1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup ready for serving.
07 -
Stack the warm Fluffy Low Carb Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes on plates. Generously top with the fresh mixed berries, chopped pecans, and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup. Serve immediately and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For extra fluffy pancakes, ensure your cottage cheese is blended completely smooth. Any remaining curds can affect the final texture.
02 -
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or microwave.
03 -
If you don't have psyllium husk powder, you can try using 1-2 tablespoons of almond flour, though the texture may be slightly less fluffy.
04 -
Get creative with toppings! Sugar-free whipped cream, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a sprinkle of sugar-free chocolate chips would also be delicious.
