Low Carb Pancakes

[belyro]

I just tried these, and they're really quite good. Not quite like "real" pancakes, but a pretty good substitute. The batter was pretty thin, though, so I might try to decrease the liquid a bit next time. Also, the taste of nutmeg was quite strong, so if you're not a huge nutmeg fan, you might want to reduce or omit that. I didn't have the DaVinci syrup, so I used a mixture of water/Splenda/vanilla. (If the DaVinci syrup is a thicker consistency, this may partially explain my runny flapjacks.) Anyway - definitely worth a try.

Low-Carb Pancakes

Ingredients
1/3 cup soy flour
2 cups cottage cheese
1 Tbsp oil
8 eggs
1/3 cup vanilla whey protein powder
1/4 cup DaVinci sugar free Vanilla syrup
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 packets Splenda

Directions
Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix well. Pour onto heated griddle into circles. (I had my griddle set to about 350.) They spread out so allow room. Cook, watching garefully to avoid burning and turning as appropriate.

Let leftovers cool individually. Place them in little serving-size sandwich bags and freeze to reheat later for breakfasts, snacks, or mini-breads.

Makes approx. forty 4" pancakes. Less than 1g net carb per pancake.


(I got this recipe from Low Carb Luxury: A Complete Resource for the Low Carb Dieter. (http://www.lowcarbluxury.com))

Cool. I haven't had pancakes since I was diagnosed! just eggs, whole wheat english muffins, and low carb cerial. This will be a good change of pace.

Yikes ... can't do the cottage cheese thing! LOL! I sure would like to find some good low-carb pancakes in the grocery store! I just bought some sugar-free syrup that tastes really good. Now to find low-carb pancakes or waffles! Hmmmmm....

Kim I HATE cottage cheese...but have made these pancakes (or something similar while on S. Beach Diet) and they weren't bad at all. You should try them.

Glad to hear this... I was thinking the same thing about the cottage cheese. I will definitely give these a try.

In the meantime, I bought some whole wheat pancake mix yesterday, 4 grams of fiber per the 28 grams of CHO. Better than <1g fiber, IMO. Will see how those go.

You'd never even guess there's cottage cheese in them. Doesn't taste like it and the consistency is nothing like it. If anything, they taste a bit "eggy".

Does it have to be soy flour? Is soy flour lower in carbs than other flours?

I have a cupboard full of various gluten free flours for baking so I'm wondering if I can try with one of them.

No idea, Emm, sorry. I'm pretty new to low-carb baking, and I really don't know much about substitutions options.

You can always try! Let us know if it works!

I was going to say... the recipe looks a bit like a spiced souffle with a little soy flour added. :D
