Ingredients

  • 4 4 eggeggs
  • 7 oz. 200 g (225 ml) cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp 1 tbsp (8 g) ground psyllium husk powder
  • 2 oz. 50 g butter or coconut oil
Toppings
  • ½ cup 120 ml fresh raspberries or fresh blueberries or fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup 225 ml heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

  1. Add eggs, cottage cheese and ground psyllium husk powder to a medium size bowl and mix together. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken up a bit.
  2. Heat up butter or oil in a non-stick skillet. Fry the pancakes on low to medium heat for 3–4 minutes on each side. Don't make them too big or they will be hard to flip.
  3. Add heavy whipping to a separate bowl and whip it until soft peaks form.
  4. Serve the pancakes with whipped cream and berries of your choice.

Tip!

If you want a really fluffy pancake, and don't mind spending a few more minutes making them, you can separate the eggs. Use the egg yolks as the instructions say but whip up the egg whites in a separate bowl. Add the egg whites to the batter by carefully folding them in so that the air you whipped into them doesn't get knocked out.

These pancakes are also a great snack served cold! Wrap a few up and bring them to work with you!

Serving suggestions

If you feel like serving them with something other than berries and whipped cream, we suggest trying our raspberry jam, butter cream or hazelnut spread.

Storing and reheating

These pancakes taste their best when they are freshly made but keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can also store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.

If you want to store them stacked on top of each other you probably want to place a piece of parchment paper between each pancake, or they'll stick together.

The best way to reheat them is to melt a small knob of butter in a pan on medium heat and place the pancakes in there. It only takes about 30 seconds on each side to heat them up.

    These were AH-MAZING!! Here’s what I did. Added extra 1.5 tsp psyllium husk, 1 tsp stevia, 1.5 tsp almond extract. Blended with a hand blender. Hot non stick with melted butter, 1/4 cup of batter for each and DON’T try to turn early. They stuck a little just needed to work it a little. Creme fraich- I added 1 tsp stevia, 1 tsp each almond extract, lemon extract. They are fabulous. Will definitely make them again.

    I made these this morning, first time. Followed recipe exactly and they were Perfect! All ingredients pulsed in a food processor. My batter was thick enough in about 4 minutes. I used a non stick griddle, buttered. The heat setting is medium low to low. Make sure griddle is hot before cooking. 4 minutes first side, 3 minutes second side. Low and slow is the correct way to cook these. No sticking whatsoever. As an aside, my psyllium was orange flavored Metamucil, so I sprinkled in about a teaspoon of unsweetened coconut flakes and called them Tropical pancakes with the hint of orange undertone!

    I thought these were just fine. My batter probably sat for 10-ish minutes while I whipped the cream and started some egg whites to go with the meal. It was thick. I used probably 3 tbls of coconut oil in the pan so that the pancake batter was kind of swimming in the oil. Medium heat. Once they were set I used my spatula to gently loosen them and then left them for another couple minutes. I had no trouble at all. They were delicious. I will definitely be making them again.

    Made these for the first time today, no issues with them sticking at all. I used ground flaxseed instead of the psyllium powder and it worked great. Equally good topped with berries or jalapeno cream cheese :-)

    I worked out the nutrition using My Fitness Pal and brand name cottage cheese and it came to a lot less than stated here.

    Delicious recipe, i didn't have cottage cheese so used ricotta and add in a teaspoon of flax meal and some cinnamon. This will be my Sunday breakfast going forward.

    I wish your recipes were measured by cup size, using grams or ounces is not much fun for a Canadian gal and I hate converting all measures! I also don't have a kitchen scale, just sold mine last year in a garage sale :(

    im not sure if it has been mentioned but if you separate the egg and whip the white to stiff peaks before mixing back through the mixture, you will get really fluffy light pancakes

    I found these really eggy. My husband likes them. I tried again with 3 eggs and a 1/4 tsp more psyllium and it was less eggy. I also Increased the cottage cheese to a full cup (8 oz). Not bad.

    I am just starting, and I need to lose quite a bit of weight. Can I eat a large salad with homemade feta cheese and an egg? Is that too much for my only meal of the day?

    I thought recipe as is was terrible. The texture was too egg-like and the taste was blah. If I try it again I will use one of the other variations mentioned in the comments.

    LOVE! I added a teensy bit of almond flour (if not they are crazy hard to turn over! my gosh!) and added a ton of cinnamon to the batter. It tasted amazing! Watch your fruit intake though. One berry roughly is a gram of sugar (which turns to carbs so 1 carbohydrate) Used a lot of butter and heavy cream and I was full for hours. Highly recommend

    I cannot believe how yummy these were. I added a little vanilla & cinnamon to the batter. I keep frozen blueberries on hand, warmed them up in the microwave and poured the juice over the pancakes. So yummy. I love keto!!!

    I wasn't sure how I was going to like these. But they were surprisingly good. I added some coconut flour, which made it very easy to to flip them and made them less eggy. Also added a little vanilla and cinnamon to the batter. I also found, with the left over pancakes, that they make a great 'bread' for a breakfast sandwich. I popped one in the toaster oven until it was crispy. Topped with some bacon, avocado and a bit of cream cheese. Oh my, was it good.

    You can find psyllium husk powder on Amazon. A few people have substituted it with coconut flour as well. These didn’t look very good when I made them, but they taste amazing!! I’ll definitely make these again!

    Am I reading the recipe correctly that you use 1/2 oz of coconut oil and 1 3/4 oz of cottage cheese? Wouldn't the measurements normally be given in cups for tbls? It just seemed odd to me.

    Can I substitute xanthan gum for the psyllium husk powder? Is its only purpose in this recipe to be a thickening agent?

    I was so excited to try these, I bounced out of bed the morning I was making them! To the recipe, I added a couple of drops of Vanilla Essence (sugar free) and a pinch of salt.
    Cooking them slowly made them flippable.
    Personally I think they're more savoury than sweet (maybe good with sautéed mushroom and onion in a cream sauce?) or if you're ok with using sweeteners like erythritol that might make them more of a sweet pancake.
    In this case, I enjoyed the berries and cream more than the pancakes themselves! Was nice to have something different though.

    Made these this morning....was skeptical, but followed the directions and they tasted GREAT! only change I made was adding a little vanilla to the whipped cream.

    It IS important to cook them slowly.

    My husband said he prefer these over the vegan pancakes I make. These pancakes are less time consuming. I haven’t bought the psyllium husk yet so instead I used almond flour, coconut flour and a sprinkle of flaxseed. I mean like a tsp of each. I did that because I was concerned my batter wouldn’t thicken. Added stevia like a tsp as one comment mentioned and vanilla abstract. The first pancake was weird I was like ohhhh I think I messed up but the rest of the pancakes came out lovely! My one year old even ate it with the blackberries and cream. Thank you!!!

    I set for 4 servings. Made about 6 small pancakes. So the way I figured one an a half equaled one serving. This is how I work out the serving size for all the receipes. If I am thinking wrong please let me know.

    These make up great as small muffins. Added cinnamon, vanilla. Put blueberries in batter and added Flaxseed. Came out perfect. Used butter for muffin pan instead of paper liner. Top when warm with whip cream. Heaven

    You should definitely be having more than one meal a day.. You can look online to calculate what your carb, protein and fat intake should be to lose weight. Then calculate your recipes so you stay inside of those guidelines. Use smaller portions and eat at least 3 times a day... I use https://keto-calculator.ankerl.com for my calculations. It never hurts to do a lot of research too :)

    Loved these - used ricotta, replaced psyllium with chia seeds and added a dash of vanilla extract. Cooked using silver dollar pancake size - they came out beautifully. Served with fresh raspberries and whipped creamed - hubby even liked them!

    Enjoyed the recipe, super easy to whip up. I wish I would have thought to add vanilla and cinnamon though. I was nervous thinking it would taste like cottage cheese but you couldn't even tell. I didn't find them hard to flip or eggy tasting at all. I enjoyed reading others comments about using the almond flour in case I run out of the psyllium husk. Would be nice to know how many make a serving.

    Is the measurement for the cottage cheese in fluid oz or weight?

    That measurement is by weight. If it were volume, it would say fluid ounces in the recipe.

    These are very good. I did the extra step of separating the eggs and mixing the egg whites until stiff and then folding them in with the yolks, psyllium husk powder and cottage cheese. Excellent and fluffy.

    This is written to make 4 servings. The number of pancakes per serving will depend on how many you get from the total batch - 8 small ones or 4 large ones will make different number of pancakes per serving.

    As a British gal, I find cups and sticks of butter confusing. Measuring by weight also ensures consistent results every time. Just saying...
