The Best Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes (Keto)

on


Don't you just love pancakes? I love pancakes and they are perfect for weekend mornings. The thing is, pancakes can be really high in sugar and simple carbohydrates, so they may spike your glucose and cause many cravings throughout the day. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't enjoy pancakes or think of them as a "bad" food, but we should still keep this information in mind. 

In the mornings, I get hungry, so I need food that will fuel my body and give me energy for the day. I need food that is filling and high in protein to help me reach my protein goals for the day. If you want pancakes, but don't want to be hungry again in an hour, you need to make my High Protein Cottage Cheese Pancakes!

These pancakes are super filling because they are high in protein and fat. They also have no added sugar in them! They will kick cravings and keep you full for hours. 



Is this recipe keto-friendly?

To make this recipe keto just use a low-carb protein powder such as PE Science's Gourmet Vanilla and make sure you use a low-carb milk such as almond milk or coconut milk.

Can you taste the Cottage Cheese?

No! You cannot taste the cottage cheese. All the cottage cheese does is make the pancakes extra fluffy and filling, but you cannot taste it in the pancakes.

What Toppings can I add?

You can add whatever toppings you like to the pancakes, but here are is few suggestions:

  • Fruit: Blueberries, strawberries, banana slices, berry compote
  • Chocolate: chocolate chips, chocolate chunks
  • Whipped Cream
  • Nut Butters: Peanut Butter, Nutella, Hazelnut Butter, Almond Butter, Cashew Butter
  • Syrups: Maple, Chocolate, Caramel, Strawberry
  • Butter: Salted, Whipped Butter, Cinnamon Butter
  • Dairy Products: Cottage Cheese, Yogurt
  • Lemon Juice and Sugar
  • Powdered Sugar
