Keto Cottage Cheese Pancakes with Cinnamon Butter

Who doesn’t love pancakes? The best part is all the delicious variations and toppings! These Keto Cottage Cheese Pancakes are light, fluffy, and packed with protein—perfect for meal prep at the start of the week. Even if mornings aren’t your thing, a quick reheat makes for an easy, homemade breakfast. Topped with rich, homemade cinnamon butter, these pancakes are the best way to start your day!

Ingredients

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the room-temperature butter, cinnamon and sweetener. If you are not following a low-carb diet, you can use regular sugar but lower the amount used. Mash with a fork or spoon until the cinnamon and sweetener are incorporated and the butter is smooth. Using room-temperature butter in this step is important for easier mashing. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.

In a large bowl, mix the pancake mix, vanilla, cottage cheese and eggs. You can make a homemade batter using flour or almond flour; however, I never seem to achieve the fluffiness when I make homemade Keto pancakes. I get a better texture and consistency when using a pre-made mix. I’m OK with that, but if you get light and fluffy pancakes with homemade Keto ingredients instead of flat discs, I want to know your secret!

Heat some butter in a skillet. Ladle some batter into the hot skillet and cook until bubbles form on the top of the pancake. Flip the pancake to cook the other side. When done to your satisfaction, remove the pancake to a plate and repeat until the batter is gone.

Serve the pancakes hot with a dollop of the cinnamon butter on top. Add any additional toppings: berries, powdered sweetener, maple syrup, etc. If you meal prep the pancakes, like I do, reheat them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until they are hot.
