Cottage Cheese Pancakes (paws and for us)

This is our Sunday Morning breakfast...........This is a low carb pancake.............

Cottage Cheese Pancakes

3 eggs

1 cup cottage cheese

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons honey or agave

1/2 cup all-purpose four

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon of salt

oil or oil spray

Place the first 4 ingredients in a bowl and whisk. In a seperate bowl whisk the dry ingredients. Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

Heat a large griddle or pan over medium heat (I use my electric frying pan) lightly coat with oil and pour about 2 Tablespoon of mixture onto the pan for each pancake.

Cook for about 2 minutes and each side or until pancakes are set and golden.

Serve. For the paws cut in bite size chunks and drizzle with raw honey.....for us spread with butter and we use honey or syrup.

To Freeze...Let pancake come to room temp. place in ziplock bag and freeze up to 3 months.

When I first came across this receipe my first thoughts was UGH but being on low carb I wanted a selection of breakfast choices and so I gave them a try and they are a keeper at our house. The paws just love them......and they get a small piece of bacon along with their pancake.

I do not use a lot of all- purpose flour but I did try using almond flour and coconut flour but the texture and taste of the pancake was not to my liking so all-purpose flour it is.

The first time I served these to the hubby.......he commented on how light and how good they tasted........I said if I told you cottage cheese is one of the main ingredients what would you think.......he said had I not told him he would never have quessed. We really enjoy them............it is our Sunday morning treat.......I make them the day before and then heat them up on Sunday.

That sounds intriguing and healthy (as pancakes go).

We very seldom eat anything like pancakes, waffles, french toast but for some reason my husband came home from

Costco the other day with a jug of pure maple syrup - $16 !! We will NEVER use it so I'm going to look for some recipes (for baked goods) that call for maple syrup.

I rarely make breakfast for the Big Guy - he's a cereal and banana guy but would do it for my dogs in a heartbeat!

I'm always concerned about their weight, also scared of Pancreatitis but would definitely feed these to them w/o butter and syrup.

Thanks :aktion033:

I prefer raw honey as store bought goes thru a lot of processing. I buy from a local bee keeper. Plus and I would not have beleived this if I did not have this happen to me is if you have allergies, hayfever to which come spring and fall I was a mess.......I took benadryl everyday for years to keep it under control.........then someone told me if I would start taking raw honey from a local and it has to be local bee keeper that my allergies/hayfever would go away and I could do away with the benadryl......so everyday for two weeks I took a Tablespoonful of the raw honey and it has now been 5 years without any issues and no more benadryl.................

If this is the same maple syrup,,,,, my hubby did the same thing........but health wise this is better than store bought syrup. I do not like maple syrup so the hubby had the jug for awhile. We eat a good breakfast so he managed to get thru the jug, his only complaint was it was to thin but had a good taste.

How funny....my husband said exactly the same thing !

It's probably in the nature of the "real stuff" to be thinner than what we're

used to.

It's probably thickened with something like skunk anal glands or sumthin' to make

it thicker (and to use more!)

Now I have never heard of this. I do know cottage cheese.

The hubby loves it. But making pancakes out of it? Well shops are closed

now, but I sure will give it a try next week. I`ll let you know if I succeed :Dempty.gifempty.gif1276893f5rn28nbfn.gif

I forgot to put the carb count.....for each pancake it is 5 carbs........as long as you make them that size. Glad you liked them. Now to make them really good you need to make Breakfast Meatballs..........

2 pounds of ground sausage

1 pound ground beef

3 eggs

2 Tablespoon minced onion instant (powdered kind)

1/2 Cup shredded cheddar cheese

black pepper to taste ( I don't do this because the sausage is seasoned enough for me)

Combine all ingredients.....roll into small balls.......place on cookie sheet. Bake in oven 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

How easy is that......and they are tasty and no carbs.........better yet!!!

When you start eating healthy it is really hard to find good tasting receipes and that you don't get tired of eating but these pancakes are a keeper for me........hope those of you that try them enjoy them if not your paws will........hopefully you both will.

I am definitely going to make them next week. Do you always eat this low carb food? I do agree on this what you said about finding good tasting receipes if you want to eat healthy

that is so true. Thank you for sharing yours Jeannine 678872rfacbjiz03.gif

All these recipes sound SO YUMMY!

And, I'm SO hungry.

Wish I had all the ingredients so I could try them right now! Geezzz, "I'm going to cook???"

The information on allergies and using LOCAL honey makes so much sense. Those bees are getting the pollen from things around you that your allergic too! Almost makes me wish either me or my furbabies had allergies so I'd have a good excuse to eat more honey!

THANKS for sharing all the information!

I use to suffer from severe migraines most of my adult life and about 14 years ago I went on the Aktins diet just to loose a few unwanted pounds.....the migraines went away....soft drinks were the cause. Have not had one since. I have not had a coke or pepsi, my favorites in 14 years. Then I went off low carb for a couple of years and put on some weight. Got tired of feeling like crap every morning when I got up and no energy to do things and would either have the flu or a bad cold sometime durning the year.......So two years ago I went back on low carb.... took 4 days of HELL to detox but after I got thru that it was a breeze......it took me one year but I lost 30 pounds and I feel great. I have so much more energy and feel good when I put on a pair of jeans....considering I am as old as dirt!!!!!!

Well, I'm even older than dirt too and by a few years too! Hmmmm, my Doctor is always after me to put on MORE weight. He says my diabetes is just "eating" its way though my body. No padding left anywhere. It's awful!

Oh, and I very seldom wear anything BUT jeans! :)
