Variations

• Add flavor: Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa powder to the batter for a spiced twist.

• Top it off: Add a dollop of whipped cream, sugar-free syrup, or fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas for extra flavor.

• Sweeten it up: If you like sweeter pancakes, add a small amount of stevia or monk fruit sweetener to the batter.

• Fluffier pancakes: For extra fluff, separate the egg whites from the yolks, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, and fold them into the batter.

storage/reheating

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or on a skillet to bring back their fluffy texture. You can also freeze the pancakes for up to 1 month; just pop them in the toaster or microwave to reheat.

FAQs

Can I make these pancakes dairy-free?

Yes, you can substitute the cottage cheese with a dairy-free option, like almond or cashew cheese, though the texture may vary.

Can I use a different flour?

Yes, you can substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but you may need to adjust the measurements since coconut flour absorbs more liquid.

How can I make these pancakes fluffier?

For fluffier pancakes, try separating the eggs, beating the egg whites to stiff peaks, and folding them into the batter.

Can I add protein powder to this recipe?

Yes, you can add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder to the batter for an extra protein boost.

Can I use a blender to make the batter?

Yes, using a blender is the easiest way to get a smooth batter, but you can also use a whisk if you prefer a bit more texture.
