- One to two tbsp. erythritol powder

INGREDIENT NOTES:
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- We use this sweetener powder to sweeten these pancakes. We can also use stevia or monk fruit sweetener in place of it, which also provides the sweet taste.
COTTAGE CHEESE:
- This cheese contains protein and gives a creamy texture with lower carb content. Using high-fat will provide a perfect texture. You can replace it with non-sweetened dairy-free cream cheese.
COCONUT OIL:
- This ingredient contains healthy fats, and it helps in uniform cooking. Utilize the avocado oil or ghee instead for a similar result.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Use the almond flour to give a body to the pancakes without adding more carbs. You can swap it out with a small quantity of coconut cream, which also works with a slight change in texture.
BANANA ESSENCE:
- It provides the taste and flavor of a banana in these pancakes. Avoid using an original banana, because it does not work well for the keto diet due to its high-carb count.
