Keto Green Goddess Protein Pancakes

Keto Green Goddess Protein Pancakes

Keto | Low Carb | High Protein
Makes: 6–8 small pancakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12–15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup finely ground almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
• ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk or another low-carb milk
• 1 tablespoon butter or avocado oil, for cooking

Directions

1. Prepare the spinach: Finely chop the spinach, parsley, chives, and dill. Set aside.
2. Blend the wet ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and almond milk to a blender. Blend until mostly smooth and creamy.
3. Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Make the batter: Pour the blended cottage-cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the chopped spinach and fresh herbs. Stir gently until everything is evenly combined.
5. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for about 3–5 minutes. Coconut flour absorbs liquid as it sits, so the mixture will thicken slightly.
6. Adjust the consistency: If the batter becomes too thick to spoon easily, add 1 tablespoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
7. Heat the pan: Place a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low to medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or avocado oil.
8. Cook the pancakes: Scoop about 2–3 tablespoons of batter into the pan for each pancake. Gently spread into a small round.
9. Flip: Cook for about 2–3 minutes, or until the edges look set and the bottom is golden. Carefully flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until cooked through.
10. Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter, adding a little more butter or oil to the pan as needed.

Serving Ideas

Serve warm with:

• A spoonful of plain Greek yogurt
• Avocado slices
• A little crumbled feta
• Fresh herbs
• A fried or poached egg
• Sugar-free hot sauce or your favorite low-carb sauce

Tip: Keep the heat moderate rather than high. Because these pancakes contain cottage cheese and coconut flour, they can brown quickly before the center is fully cooked.
