Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Coconut Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Blend cottage cheese and eggs: Pour 1 cup of cottage cheese and 4 eggs into a blender and blend thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Mix dry ingredients: Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup coconut flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir the batter well and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken.
- Heat the pan with coconut oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a frying pan over low heat to prepare for cooking the pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes: Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the batter and pour it onto the heated frying pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of fresh berries or a sugar-free syrup for a tasty, wholesome breakfast.
Notes
- Allow the batter to rest so the coconut flour absorbs moisture, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Use low heat to prevent the pancakes from burning given the coconut oil’s lower smoke point.
- These pancakes are naturally gluten-free and high in protein, making them an excellent option for breakfast or brunch.
- Feel free to substitute toppings based on your dietary needs or preferences.
