# Ingredients:
→ The Cottage Cheese Base
01 -
2 cups low-fat (2% milkfat) cottage cheese
02 -
4 large eggs
03 -
1 tbsp psyllium husk powder
04 -
1 tsp baking powder
05 -
1/4 tsp fine sea salt
→ Sweet & Aromatic Boosters
06 -
2 tbsp granulated erythritol (or monk fruit blend)
07 -
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
08 -
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
09 -
Pinch ground nutmeg
→ Griddle & Garnish
10 -
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
11 -
1 cup fresh mixed berries, for serving
12 -
1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Add 2 tbsp granulated erythritol, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch ground nutmeg to the blender. Pulse briefly to incorporate. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes; this allows the psyllium husk to thicken the mixture, crucial for perfect Low Carb Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes.
02 -
Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tbsp unsalted butter and swirl to coat the cooking surface evenly. Ensure the griddle is hot enough to cook but not so hot that the pancakes burn quickly.
03 -
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the prepared griddle, leaving space between each. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. Adjust heat if necessary to prevent over-browning.
04 -
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Add the remaining 1 tbsp unsalted butter to the griddle if needed, and repeat the cooking process with the rest of the batter until all your Low Carb Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes are done.
05 -
Arrange the warm pancakes on serving plates. Top generously with 1 cup fresh mixed berries and a drizzle of 1/2 cup sugar-free maple syrup. Serve these delicious Low Carb Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes immediately for the best taste and texture.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, avoid overcrowding the griddle; cook in batches to ensure even browning and easy flipping.
02 -
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or toaster oven.
03 -
Feel free to customize your toppings with other low-carb options like sugar-free chocolate chips, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
04 -
If you prefer a less sweet pancake, you can reduce the amount of granulated erythritol or omit it entirely, letting the natural sweetness of the toppings shine.
