½ cup almond flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 cup fresh berries (your choice)
Instructions
-
Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt until well combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
-
Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease if needed to avoid sticking.
-
Cook Pancakes: Pour the batter onto the skillet to form small pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
-
Serve with Berries: Stack the pancakes and top with fresh berries. Optionally drizzle with sugar-free syrup or honey.
