Reasons to Love These Pancakes

  • Quick & Easy: These are super and easy to make and require very minimal ingredients and equipment. You just toss everything in a blender, which makes the clean up so much easier! No one likes cleaning tons of dishes.
  • High Protein Without Powder: I have gotten many requests to make protein sweets that do not have added protein powder in them so here you go! You definitely could add additional protein powder as a substitute for some of the almond flour, but they are naturally packed with protein just as they are! There are 23 grams of protein without adding any protein powder.
  • Low Carb: There are only 7 grams of net carbs per serving of pancakes (2).

Nutritional Benefits

  • Cottage Cheese: Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein and is low in calories. It plays an important role in bone health due to the calcium and is rich in Vitamin B12.
  • Almond Flour: Almond flour is a great low carb alternative to regular flour. It is rich in magnesium, Vitamin E, and antioxidants.

Ingredients

  • Cottage Cheese - 1 cup of small curd, low fat (1%) cottage cheese. You can use any kind, but just keep in mind that your fat & calories will increase significantly.
  • Eggs - 3 large eggs.
  • Almond Flour- 1 cup of almond flour.
  • Vanilla Extract - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Salt - Just a pinch!
  • Baking Powder- 1 teaspoon, to make them fluffy.
  • Sweetener- This is optional, but I added a teaspoon of a zero calorie sweetener (Swerve) to sweeten them up a little bit.
  • Blueberries - 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries.
