Creamy Keto Cottage Cheese Pancakes with Berries

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener
• Butter or coconut oil for cooking
• Fresh berries for topping

Instructions:

1. Blend the Batter:
   • In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sweetener. Blend until smooth. The cottage cheese adds creaminess and a protein boost to your pancakes.
2. Let the Batter Rest:
   • Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the almond flour absorb the liquid, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
3. Preheat the Pan:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Pour 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
5. Serve with Berries:
   • Top your pancakes with a handful of fresh berries. Berries are low in carbs and high in antioxidants, making them an excellent keto-friendly topping.
6. Optional Toppings:
   • Enhance your pancakes with keto-approved toppings like a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup.
7. Enjoy Your Keto Cottage Cheese Pancakes:
   • These pancakes are not only delicious but also rich in protein and healthy fats, keeping you satisfied and energized throughout the day.
