Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Blend for Smoothness: Place the cottage cheese, eggs, mashed banana, and vanilla into a blender. Pulse until the mixture is completely creamy and smooth.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Let the batter sit for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
-
Heat the Griddle: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or griddle and heat over medium-low. These cook best at a lower temperature to ensure the center sets perfectly.
-
Cook: Drop about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes until bubbles form on the edges.
-
Flip: Carefully flip and cook for another 2 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
-
Serve: Stack them high and enjoy! For a 0-point topping, you can pair these with your Strawberry Soft Serve or just a little extra butter.
