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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
