Ingredients

Dairy

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

Eggs

  • 3 large eggs (organic)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond flour (such as Almond+ Nut flour by Nature Eats)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Flavoring

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Blend the Cottage Cheese: In a small blender such as a Nutribullet, add the cottage cheese and blend until it’s smooth and creamy. Set the cottage cheese mixture aside.
  2. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, monk fruit sweetener, and salt until well mixed.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined and a batter forms; do not overmix, as this keeps the hot cakes extra fluffy.
  4. Preheat the Griddle or Skillet: Place a large griddle or skillet on medium heat. Allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook the Hot Cakes: Spoon or ladle the batter onto the skillet to form 4 large, thick hot cakes. Cook each side for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust time as needed depending on pan and thickness.
  6. Serve: Transfer hot cakes to plates. Top with maple syrup or your favorite fruits and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra fluffy hot cakes, use a fine almond flour blend like Almond+ Nut flour.
  • If you want sweeter cakes, add a bit more monk fruit sweetener or serve with fresh berries.
  • Be sure not to overmix the batter for fluffier cakes.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
  • This recipe is gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by using a plant-based cottage cheese.
