Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 150g cottage cheese (about 1 ½ cups)
- 25g coconut flour (about ¼ cup)
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
For the Berry Sauce:
- 2 cups frozen berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (e.g., stevia or honey)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the coconut flour and baking powder, mixing gently until the batter thickens. It should be slightly lumpy but well combined.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Berry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the frozen berries, lemon juice, and sweetener. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and generously pour the berry sauce on top. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
Recipe Notes
- Make sure to cook the pancakes on low heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
- Use a spatula to gently press down on the pancakes while they cook; this helps them cook evenly.
- Experiment with different sweeteners based on your taste preference, as some might prefer honey or maple syrup over stevia.
