These look good! I’ll have to try them. I usually make oat and flax meal pancakes – I love the taste of oat pancakes. Since they’re loaded with egg whites already, how’s about adding some crumbled, crisp bacon! Bacon goes well with oats and eggs!

I’ve been looking forward to making these for quite some time, but the recipe did not deliver. I was so disappointed. I knew the batter was way too thin when I blended it; in fact, I pulsed it just to combine the ingredients. But I decided to continue, just to give the recipe a chance. The extremely thin batter produced colorless pancakes, which I didn’t dare try. What a bummer :-(

These pancakes are SO good! We love pancakes at my house and are actually a bit snobbish aout them. I have tried many recipes for “healthy” pancakes and they have all been just ok. These pancakes have no flour and no sugar so I had to give them a try.
I only had 1 3/4 cup of cottage cheese so I used 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt, otherwise I followed the recipe. Everyone thought they tasted just like regular pancakes only lemony. They look like regular pancakes, just a bit flatter. I made homemade blueberry syrup to go on top (just cooked blueberries, no sugar) and it provided just the right amount of sweetness.
The recipe makes a lot of pancakes. I fed 4 kids (ranging in age from 5-10) and two adults with a single batch. We aren’t dainty eaters either.
You should make these pancakes, they are delicious and you don’t need to feel guilty about eating them.
