Tips for the Best Keto Cottage Cheese Pancakes
- Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese – For a richer, creamier pancake.
- Blend for a Smoother Texture – If you prefer lump-free pancakes, blend the batter.
- Keep the Heat Low – Almond flour burns quickly, so cook on medium-low heat.
- Make Them Ahead – Store leftovers in the fridge or freeze for a quick breakfast.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Stack pancakes with parchment paper in between and freeze for up to 1 month.
- Reheat: Warm in a skillet over low heat or microwave for 30 seconds.
