📋 Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for creaminess, but low-fat works too)

- ¼ cup almond flour (or coconut flour for gluten-free)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil, for frying
👩🍳 Instructions
- Blend batter: In a bowl (or blender for extra smooth pancakes), mix cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla, and salt until combined.
- Heat skillet: Warm a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
