Poor Boy Bentzes- Grain Free

Poor Boy Bentzes- Grain Free

This was my grandmother’s recipe but I changed it a little and turned it grain free.  These bentzes are tasty sweet or savory and are super easy and healthy!  They are kind of like a pancake but with a creamy flavor.  They are moist with an amazing texture.  You’ve got to try this recipe.  My grandmother said these were a favorite of hers growing up in the 1930s.  She had a fondness for blueberries and loved to add them when she made this.

If you’d prefer to use flour use 1 cup flour and omit the almond, coconut and gelatin.

2 Cups Cottage Cheese
4 Eggs
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Cup Almond Flour
2 Tbs Coconut Flour
1/2 Tsp Unflavored Gelatin
2 Tbs Maple Syrup

Mix Eggs and Cottage Cheese then add flour, gelatin, salt and maple syrup.  Heat pan or griddle with a small amount of butter.  Cook pancakes until golden (bubbles should remain before turning).  Serve warm.  Spinkle a little powered sugar on top and serve with fruit or chocolate chips if you like.
