Creating Fluffy Flourless Cottage Cheese Pancakes is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

2. Add Almond Flour: If using almond flour, fold it into the mixture gently until fully incorporated. This addition helps with texture but can be omitted for a completely flourless option.

3. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

4. Pour the Batter: Once the skillet is hot, pour a small ladleful of batter onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread it out gently into a pancake shape.

5. Cook on One Side: Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface.

6. Flip the Pancake: Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

7. Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

8. Serve Warm: Serve the pancakes warm off the skillet.
