Incredible Keto Cottage Cheese Pancake Recipe! Must Try Low Carb High Protein

Looking for the ultimate keto pancake recipe that’s not only delicious but also packed with protein? Look no further! These Cottage Cheese Keto Pancakes are fluffy, flavorful, and super satisfying. Whether you're on a keto diet or just want a healthier breakfast option, this recipe will become your new go-to.
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.

I don't understand how people can complain about your videos!! I absolutely love watching you cook!! It's like watching a regular guy make recipes most people would like. Nothing wrong with that at all. If you want something fancy thats what the Food Network is for.

Quality Cheese cloth will not leave anything behind. It is lint free. Actually you may run more of a risk with papertowels. “Cheesecloth is woven in a basket weave pattern which is light and airy” and that makes it perfect for straining things like cottage cheese. Also, You can get it almost anywhere. (Stores or online)
Wash or boil -dry and re use.

I made keto maple syrup by melting allulose with a little water, cook it down to thicken and then add maple flavoring. Pretty good!

[kellymackey]

I am absolutely obsessed with this guy and his videos. Not only are they legit but his style is so refreshing and real ("whoops dropped that"). There is no one on you tube with this kind of real time authenticity and I am all here for it. This channel is going to make you a star and we get to go along for the fun, informative, hysterical, ride. Keep going, Dave!

[sharonparker]

Love your show and you! Ignore all the trolls that bash you. You are funny and real and I love your recipes. You are my go to for all things keto. Hope you never change.

I can't imagine anyone being mean to you let alone your grandma!!! As a grandma of 4 I wanna say that should NEVER be a thing!!! The grands are my most favorite people on this planet!!! God bless you!! Also saw in comments on Keto Twins that if you simmer keto syrup for several minutes it will thicken up since its always too thin!!

I made these and added about 1/2 c of pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice and then lined a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Used avocado oil on paper, put batter the shape of pancakes on the sheet and cooked them 400 degrees about 20 minutes or so. Topped with sugarless syrup and sugarless whipped cream. They were delicious! Baking them in the oven and turning them over once they were brown on top held the pancakes together better than frying them in my cast iron pan.

I made pancakes with cottage cheese, cinnamon, vanilla, butter, some spoons of almond flour, coconut flour and baking powder. Also added some teaspoons of high protein pancake mix. They turned out delicious. They kind of reminded me of sourdough pancakes because of the cottage cheese. No straining of the cottage cheese was involved.

Coffee filters work well for getting the liquid out of your cottage cheese…and a whisk to mix your dry ingredients will make things easier for you. Love watching your vids!

I started the carnivore/ with a little keto diet almost 2 weeks ago, I'm shedding 1 pound per day & feel better than I did in my 30's (I'm 55)
I'm trying this 😋

[nancydiaz]

I don’t strain the cheese and comes out great! 😋

Caroline at All Day I Dream About Food says that they used 30g of erythritol in the study and that is WAY more then is ever used in an entire recipe. Even a whole cake doesn't have that much. So the amount we use on Keto is perfectly safe. Check out her video on this subject on YouTube.

Wow finally a decent chef with good personality. No crazy editing hacks. I love everything about this video 🎉

Allulose is amazing is a natural sweetener …no weird aftertaste.

If. Ur using the paper towel use a scraper to lift it off the pt. I make blintz pancakes; 1c cottage cheese, 4 eggs, 1c sour cream, 1c flour( I use almond flour) 1tsp vanilla( I use almond extract), 1-2 Tbsp sugar( I use stevia). Put all ingredients in a bowl, mix well, cook on skillet over low/medium heat. I love these and they r high protein, low carb.
I add butter and a little powdered sugar or maple syrup, or fresh fruit or jam. Whatever u like. They r denser than regular pancakes. You can purer cottage cheese to smooth out if you want but not needed.

Don't let anyone give you grief Dave! I love what your method is, it's uniquely your's ❤

So, you know how whole almond’s are brown? Well, blanching removes that brown husk, and leaves you with a whitish almond.
The product you used is blanched almonds ground fine, aka, blanched almond flour.
