High-Protein Fluffy Pancakes

Servings: 4
Course: Breakfast, dinner
Calories: 260

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese preferably 1% organic
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp Swerve or your preferred sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest for extra flavor
  • Oil spray for the pan

Method
 

  1. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, sweetener, vanilla, and baking powder to a bowl, and using an immersion blender, blend until smooth and creamy. (You can also transfer the ingredients to a small blender, such as a NutriBullet, and blend.)
  2. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes while your skillet heats, as this gives the baking powder a little time to activate for fluffier pancakes.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add a quick spray of oil to coat the surface.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another minute or two until golden and cooked through.
  5. Continue with the rest of the batter, greasing the pan as needed.
