Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

• full-fat cottage cheese
• pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• eggs
• coconut flour
• baking powder
• pumpkin pie spice
• cinnamon
• vanilla
• Swerve
• Butter (for the pan)
• optional: salt 

Optional Add-Ins

• Chia seeds or coconut flakes
• Keto chocolate chips
• Unflavored protein powder

Instructions

• Add cottage cheese to a blender and blend until smooth. This gives your pancakes a creamy base.
• Add pumpkin puree, eggs, coconut flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla, and Swerve.
• Blend again until smooth. Or pour the blended cottage cheese into a bowl and mix everything by hand. You can add your desired mix-in at this stage.
• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter to keep things from sticking.
• Use a 1/4 cup or cookie scoop to portion the batter. This keeps them even.
• Cook 2–3 minutes per side, flipping gently once bubbles form and the edges look set.
• Top with whipped cream, keto maple syrup, or Greek yogurt. Add chocolate chips if you’re feeling fancy!

Topping and Add-In Suggestions

Make your pancakes your way. Try these toppings and mix-ins to build your perfect fall stack:

Toppings

• Whipped cream (sweetened with Swerve or monkfruit)
• Sugar-free maple syrup
• Keto chocolate chips
• Greek yogurt
• Chopped nuts (skip if nut-free)
• Fresh berries (like raspberries or blueberries)

Add-Ins

• Keto chocolate chips (into the batter)
• Chia seeds or shredded coconut
• Scoop of protein powder for extra grams

Mix and match to get your favorite combo. I love mine with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Expert Tips

• Blend the cottage cheese smooth for no curds
• Use fresh baking powder for a fluffier stack
• Don’t go high heat, they brown fast
• Coconut flour makes them soft, not gritty

Ingredient Swaps

• Swap coconut flour for 3x almond flour
• Use monkfruit if you don’t have Swerve
• Add protein powder for extra protein

Storage

• Fridge: Store any leftovers for up to 3 days in a sealed container
• Freezer: Place the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then store in bags
• Reheat: Toaster is best, microwave works too

Conclusion

These pancakes are everything: protein-packed, full of fall flavor, and super easy. Just blend, cook, and eat. No fancy steps, no weird ingredients.

I’ve been keto since 2019 and lost 50 lbs with recipes like this – simple, satisfying, and done in minutes.

FAQ

Q: Can I make these without cottage cheese?
A: Cottage cheese gives these pancakes their fluff and protein. You can try Greek yogurt, but the texture won’t be the same.

Q: Can I freeze these pancakes?
A: Yes! Freeze them on parchment, then store in a ziplock. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.

Q: What’s the best way to reheat them?
A: A toaster is best for crispy edges. Microwave works too for soft and fast.

Q: Can I use almond flour instead of coconut flour?
A: Yep, but use 3x more. Coconut flour is more absorbent, so you’ll need extra almond flour to match the texture.
