Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. The batter will be somewhat lumpy due to the cottage cheese.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let it melt and coat the pan.
Once the butter is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the skillet for each pancake.
Cook the pancakes for 3-5 minutes on one side, or until bubbles begin to form on the top and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Use the remaining butter to cook the next batch, repeating the process until all the batter is used.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the cream cheese to serve as a topping or spread for the pancakes.
Serve the pancakes warm with the melted cream cheese on top or on the side.
