Healthy Cottage Cheese Pancakes

Stop, don’t go! These pancakes are totally delicious – you’d never suspect they were a healthy pancake made with cottage cheese & whole wheat flour!

Recently I’ve been working on recipes for a diabetic in my family. Pancakes were definitely something they missed, so I set out to make some good low-carb pancakes.

I made these Flax Pancakes (click for recipe) and they have been a HUGE hit from all that have tried them. I must say, they’re pretty darn impressive for being just about carb-free.

I make a few savory style pancakes with cottage cheese and decided to try them out as a more sweet breakfast pancake.

Success! The pancake lovers were in love ♥

Ingredients

No one ever guesses that cottage cheese is one of the main ingredients in this recipe.

Although you may see traces of cottage cheese in the pancakes – you’ll taste no curds. They seem to magically melt into the pancake : )

Oh, and no one guesses that there is no all-purpose flour nor any sugar.

Sweetener Options

That leads us into the discussion of alternative & artificial sweeteners.

I’ve (personally) never cared for artificial sweeteners and I don’t use them for myself.

Now that I find myself cooking for a diabetic I’ve been experimenting with every artificial & alternative sweetener under the sun. I just can’t get thru them all – and every time I go to the store I find a new one. The selection is awesome but exhausting!

All that blabbing leads to this – use whatever sweetener you’d like. I’ve been using Sweet Leaf sweetener, so that’s what I used here. So far this has been one of my preferred low calorie & low carb sweeteners. It doesn’t have much of a funky taste and a little goes a long way. I actually use less than what the bag recommends.

If you have no dietary restrictions than go ahead and use good old granulated sugar. I’d suggest 1 -2 tablespoon depending on taste.

Pancakes for everyone! Enjoy!
