Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Tasty low carb cottage cheese pancakes have a delicate, fluffy texture thanks to the melted cottage cheese curds.

In these delicious low carb cottage cheese pancakes, the low ratio of flour to cheese, plus the cottage cheese curds that get melted as you cook the pancakes, result in delicate, fluffy and very flavorful little pancakes.

These cottage cheese pancakes are more difficult to flip than regular pancakes, because they’re less sturdy. So flip them slowly and carefully with a wide spatula. Don’t worry if a couple of them get a little squished and lose their shape when you flip them! The wonderful flavor will compensate for any shape mishaps.

One trick I learned is to make cottage cheese pancakes smaller, since smaller pancakes are easier to flip. So I use a 2-tablespoon scoop rather than a 4-tablespoon one.

Sweetening the batter is optional and up to you. I usually don’t sweeten it, because I serve these low carb cottage cheese pancakes with a sweet syrup. But if you wish, you could add 2 tablespoons of any granulated sweetener, or the equivalent in your favorite stevia.

This recipe is very similar to my Greek yogurt pancakes recipe, but the texture is completely different. Both are excellent! And a VERY nice variation is this recipe for low carb chocolate pancakes.
