  • 1 tbsp 1 tbsp ground psyllium husk powder

Instructions

  1. Add eggs, cottage cheese, and psyllium husk to a medium-size bowl and mix together. Let sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken up a bit.
  2. Heat the butter or oil, in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the pancakes for 3–4 minutes, per side. Don't make them too big or they will be hard to flip.
  3. Add cream to a separate bowl and whip until soft peaks form.
  4. Serve the pancakes with the 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, 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 best when they are freshly made but keep well 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 the pancakes 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.

    So I read the reviews on these and went in with no high expectations. And so I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed them for lunch today. I did observe what many said and added cinnamon and vanilla to the batter. I also threw in some flax seed and a dash of almond milk. The next time I make them I'll probably add more cinnamon and vanilla to enhance the flavor. I made the recipe for 3 servings (I only had about 5-1/2 oz of cottage cheese). I ended up with 10 5-inch crepes/pancakes. I used a non-stick pan and butter (which made them a bit crispy which was lovely) and did not have any trouble with making these. Like others have noted, the pan should be fairly hot and you need to let them cook awhile before trying to turn. I did try to turn one too early and it was a bit of a mess. I ate the four smallest that I made and am freezing the other 6 for later. I served them with the whipped cream and a handful of blueberries--this was what made it divine!!

    Just a question, is this 4g net carbs per 1 pancake or for all 4 together? 4g net carbs is alot for just one pancake? on top of the cream and berries or is that included in the carb count?

    This recipe as written makes 4 servings and is 4g net carbs per serving. If you make 4 pancakes from the batch then 1 is a serving. If you make 8 pancakes, then 2 is a serving. The toppings are included in the carb count because they are not listed as (optional) in the list of ingredients.

    Since it had cheese in it, I used it as a dinner side without the cream and fruit.

    You can use chia seeds, flax seeds, or even xanthan gum. Here's more info regarding ratios! https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/guides/psyllium-husk#psyllium-sub...

    This recipe is one of my favourites. My kids love them and they make a healthy breakfast or dessert or after school snack. I often make them the night before. If the batter has thickened too much I just add some water but the kids like them thick. I find the recipe very forgiving and often use ricotta or mascarpone if I don't have cottage cheese.

    These are great! I prefer to serve them with softened butter mixed with a bit of sweetener and a drop of maple extract. They also turn out really well, perhaps even better, with ricotta in place of the cottage cheese.

    Just started the 5 weeks with Kristie meal plan and these little gems were on day 3 for me...I followed the recipe for "1" serving and found it easy to make for just me. I did substitute 1 strawberry for the raspberries (not a fan of the latter) and sprinkled cinnamon on my plate before serving...that little bit of cinnamon made this recipe really pop for me! Also found a great whole milk cottage cheese "Good Culture" brand which is marketed for keto as it only has 3 grams carbs per serving, and it was really great both straight up and in this recipe.
    Helpful note: I have a hand blender with a whisk attachment and a small but tall mixing cup - this was perfect for whipping my 1/4 cup of heavy cream! My big stand mixer wasn't cutting it for the small amount of cream. Will put this recipe on my favorites!

    This was great. I added vanilla extract and some stevia. I also used ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. Having tried these mock pancake recipes before, the ricotta actually has a better texture that cottage cheese.

    The batter tasted fine. Unfortunately, I'm just not a patient enough cook to make these work. They ended up looking like scrambled eggs.

    I found nothing notable about these pancakes ~ but then I was never a big pancake eater before keto. I'd be just as happy eating just the berries and whipped cream. I may try these more as a crepe next time ... improvise some blintzes.

    First time making these today without reading the comments first. I just bought canned pumpkin to make soup and didn't need the whole can, so I added pumpkin to the pancakes along with 1 tsp pumpkin spice (for 4 servings.) I used small curd Good Culture cottage cheese and psyllium husk. I may have made the pancakes too large or the batter too thick with the pumpkin, but they are very thick and took a long time to cook. I added vanilla & sweetener to whipped cream & served with toasted pecans--good, but not outstanding. Some sweetener in the batter might help and coconut oil might be better choice. (I cooked in ghee.) I like the suggestion to use ricotta and chia seed. I will try this again and play with the recipe more, but beginning with the original recipe might be the best idea. I think it needs something for flavor--maple would be good, vanilla--maybe that is what mine needed today. FYI--The servings are large. Crystal, no, I don't taste the cottage cheese.

    Update--The second pan of same recipe pumpkin added version--I made the pancakes smaller & spread the batter to make them thinner, served with toasted pecans & without the whipped cream--much better. For this version of the recipe, I think the whipped cream actually detracted.

    There is no vanilla or cinnamon in this recipe. If you wish to add some, start with small quantities and adjust to taste.
