Start your morning right with these Keto Cottage Cheese Pancakes, offering a perfect blend of protein, flavor, and low-carb goodness. Whizzed together in a blender, the batter features cottage cheese, almond flour, and whey protein powder with a bright hint of lemon zest and juice that adds a refreshing lift. These pancakes are sweet, tender, and beautifully creamy inside thanks to the cottage cheese.

Blending the wet and dry ingredients ensures a smooth batter that cooks evenly into small, easy-to-flip pancakes with crisp edges and a soft center. Best of all, these pancakes are incredibly adaptable: ditch the lemon for vanilla or even banana extract, swap in chocolate chips or blueberries, or customize your toppings to match your mood. They’re also great for batch cooking. Simply store in the fridge or freezer, making them a go-to breakfast option all week long.

Yields 3 servings of Keto Cottage Cheese Pancakes

The Preparation

1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup unflavored protein powder
3 tablespoon allulose
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 cup cottage cheese
3 large eggs
2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon lemon juice
butter or oil for the pan, as needed

The Execution

1. Gather and prep all of your ingredients.

2. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, allulose, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Break up any clumps.

3. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Once smooth, add in the lemon zest and blend again.

4. Slowly add lemon juice into the batter until just scoopable, about 2 tablespoons. Pre-heat pan or griddle over medium heat and brush with oil or butter. Once hot, create pancakes about 4 inches in diameter. Cook until edges are set and bubbles are forming on the top. About 2-4 minutes.

5. Flip and continue to cook until bottom is golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Repeat the process with remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to pan as needed.

6. Serve warm with additional lemon and optionally topped with powdered allulose. Enjoy!
