These Keto Friendly Cottage Cheese Pancakes are light, fluffy, and deliciously satisfying while keeping your carb count low. Packed with protein-rich cottage cheese and just a handful of wholesome ingredients, they make the perfect breakfast or brunch for anyone following a ketogenic or low-carb lifestyle.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat recommended)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tbsp powdered erythritol or favorite keto sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

For Cooking

  • 1–2 tbsp butter or coconut oil (for greasing skillet)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. If desired, add sweetener and cinnamon for extra flavor. Use a whisk or hand blender to mix until mostly smooth, leaving a few curds of cottage cheese for texture.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or coconut oil, letting it melt and coat the surface evenly.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread into small circles, as the batter is thick. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottom is golden brown.
  4. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake using a thin spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side, until golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
  5. Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm. Enjoy with your favorite keto-friendly toppings such as fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

  • If your batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk to loosen it.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
  • These pancakes are naturally gluten-free and grain-free.
