Nutritional Benefits

These pancakes are packed with protein and fiber, keeping you full while supporting your weight loss goals:

  • Cottage Cheese: High in protein to support muscle maintenance and satiety.
  • Eggs: A nutrient-dense source of high-quality protein and healthy fats.
  • Coconut Flour: A low-carb, high-fiber alternative to traditional flour.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese (ensure no added sugar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1-2 tbsp water (if needed for consistency)
  • Cooking spray (Phase 2-approved, no added oils)

Instructions

  1. In a blender or mixing bowl, blend the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour and baking powder.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken. If it becomes too thick, add 1-2 tbsp water until the desired consistency is reached.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly spray with Phase 2-approved cooking spray.
  5. Spoon the batter onto the skillet in small pancake shapes (about 3 inches wide).
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with stevia-sweetened cinnamon or sliced strawberries.
