These are an old favorite of mine. I use small-curd, low-fat cottage cheese. They come out thin and delicate, somewhere between a classic pancake and a crepe. A nice addition to a reduced-carb diet.

A breakfast of cottage cheese with ketchup and pepper might seem scandalous to some, but to President Nixon it was standard morning fare. The cottage cheese in these flapjacks adds nice texture and an old-fashioned flavor reminiscent of blintzes. If you want to top them with something red, I suggest strawberry syrup.

EASY HEALTHY COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES



Easy Healthy Cottage Cheese Pancakes image

Savory pancake, great any time of the day. I adore Sharon123's cottage cheese pancakes (#348917), so I modified it to something I can feel good about eating almost every day. I love to sprinkle a little bit of sea salt on these after they're done, and eat them with additional fat-free cottage cheese. My husband likes them with sugar-free pancake syrup. Sometimes I use butter instead of the cooking spray, but obviously that changes the calories a bit. ;)
