Pancakes for Passover

4 eggs
2 T honey
1 t vanilla
1/2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1/4 t cinnamon
1 banana
1 T yogurt or 1/2 cup uncreamed cottage cheese (dry curd)
1.5 cup almond flour (very finely ground blanched almonds)

Mix all ingredients together, adding almond flour last. Use a pan on low heat with plenty of butter to cook on each side until crispy at the edges. The pancakes may break apart when you flip them, so make them small enough for your spatula. These take a while to cook, because they’ll burn on medium heat, but the result is wheat-free pancakes that taste like regular pancakes.

Passover is a lot easier when part of your family has had to learn to cook without any grains or starches at all.

Actually, I used the tablespoon of yogurt instead of uncreamed cottage cheese (aka farmer's cheese or dry curd cottage cheese).

You could probably use plain old cottage cheese if you don't care about the lactose.

I've updated the recipe to show yogurt or uncreamed cottage cheese (rather than both). Thanks!
