Whole Wheat Cottage Cheese Pancakes

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

Seems I’ve been on a pancake kick lately.  It’s been one after another – and, hey, there might just be a few more.

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 and they were 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 ♥

No one guessed that cottage cheese was one of the main ingredients.  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 would guess that there was no all-purpose flour nor any sugar.

So that leads us into the discussion of alternative & artificial sweeteners.  I’ve never cared for artificial sweeteners and firmly believed they had no place in any kitchen but a diabetics.  I swore up & down that raw honey was the best alternative sweetener.  Actually, I still believe honey is best – just not for a diabetic.

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.

All that blabbing leads to this – use whatever sweetener you’d like.  I’ve been working with SweetLeaf Sugar Leaf sweetener, so that’s what I used here.  So far this has been one of my preferred low cal/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!
