Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter & Toppings
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese 4% milkfat recommended for moisture.
  • 3 large eggs Room temperature.
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract Pure vanilla preferred.
  • 1 cup blanched almond flour Finely milled.
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour Do not skip; thickens the batter.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder Ensure it is fresh for maximum rise.
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter For searing in the skillet.
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries Dark purple and plump.
  • 1/4 cup keto maple syrup Thick, sugar-free amber syrup.

Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender Essential for smoothing out the cottage cheese curds.
  • 1 Non-stick Skillet Crucial for achieving an even, golden-brown sear.

Method
 

Preparing and Cooking the Pancakes
  1. In a high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend on high for 30 seconds until completely smooth and no curds remain.
  2. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder to the blender. Pulse gently just until incorporated into a thick batter. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt the unsalted butter until foaming and gently sizzling.
  4. Pour exactly 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the pan. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges dry out slightly and a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.
  5. Slide a wide spatula under the center and flip swiftly. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until thick and puffed up.
  6. Stack the four pancakes on a plate. Top with a generous pile of fresh blueberries and drizzle the thick keto maple syrup over the top so it drips down the sides.

Notes

Tip 1: Always cook on medium-low heat, as almond flour burns faster than regular wheat flour.
Tip 2: Never press down on the pancakes with your spatula after flipping; this destroys the fluffy texture.
