| | | Low Carb Pancakes
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.)

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 should try them. | 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.

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

Sift the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and whisk just until combines.Do not overmix. Do not double this recipe. Drop by 1/4 cup onto griddle or skillet that contains a small amount of oil.Serve with sugar free syrup
Do not use soy flour in this recipe as the pancakes will stick. |
