  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (1% small curd, organic)

3 large eggs (organic)

1 cup almond flour (recommend Almond+ Nut flour by Nature Eats for extra fluffiness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener (or preferred sweetener)

Instructions

  1. Blend the cottage cheese: In a small blender (like a Nutribullet), add the cottage cheese and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and monk fruit sweetener.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients: Add the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined—be careful not to overmix!
  4. Preheat the griddle/skillet: Preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
  5. Cook the hot cakes: Form four large, thick hot cakes using the batter. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Be sure not to flip too soon!
  6. Serve and enjoy: Top with maple syrup or your favorite toppings and enjoy your fluffy cottage cheese hot cakes!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add fresh berries, chocolate chips, or nuts into the batter.
  • Top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
  • If you prefer another sweetener, substitute monk fruit with stevia, erythritol, or honey.
