Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (strained for smoother texture)
3 large eggs
⅓ cup almond flour (blanched for a finer texture)
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (for added fluffiness)
1 tbsp unflavored whey protein isolate (optional but recommended for structure)
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional for sweetness)
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon (optional for flavor)
¼ tsp xanthan gum (for elasticity)
Pinch of salt
Zest of ½ a lemon (for a fresh flavor boost)
Butter or ghee (for cooking)

Instructions:

Prepare the Cottage Cheese: Strain the cottage cheese to remove excess liquid for a smoother texture.

Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine strained cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Blend until completely smooth.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, whey protein isolate, baking powder, sweetener, cinnamon, xanthan gum, and salt.

Combine: Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet, ensuring a smooth, thick batter. Let the batter rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the psyllium husk and xanthan gum to activate, thickening the batter.

Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add butter or ghee. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, until bubbles form, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve: Stack the pancakes and top with your favorite keto-friendly toppings like sugar-free syrup, whipped cream, or a homemade berry compote.
