If you don't use dry curd, drain regular cottage cheese, and use 1 1/3cup, and omit the salt (dry curd is un-salted, reg. cottage cheese is salted)

i got this off another forum, so its not my recipe, but i hear its damn tastey, and you can re-toast them like an Eggo...good for on-the-go nutrition.
One of those and a piece of fruit would be pretty good pre-workout nutrition.

My wife made them yesterday and they are awesome. use a little honey or some syrup that doesn't have high fructose corn syrup, and it'd be a decent post workout meal. or pre workout meal for that matter.

My wife did the math on it - 21g protein and 23g carbs per serving with like 1g of fat. (no dates)

I'm bumping my own recipe. It really IS a very delicious waffle. The batter looks normal, and you would never guess there's cottage cheese in them.

Seriously guys, try these. They are that good. I had the wife make em again last night, and I picked up 100% pure maple syrup to avoid high fructose corn syrup. Of course I"ll only use a little, but post workout, simple carbs ain't a bad thing!
 
last night, my wife added some blueberries to the batter, and we made protein pancakes.

OMG they were tastey, and didn't even need syrup (i buy 100% pure maple syrup..at least its natural, no HFCS)

if you have a griddle, you can just pour them out as pancakes instead :)
 
cottage cheese is very neccesary for its casein protein content.. low carb, and low fat. Casein is a slow digestive ingredient which doesn't make your insulin levels blow through the roof. Since its a very cheap comodity its well worth what it has in there... so therefore I suggest you keep it in the recipe.. Also forgot to mention is very high in glutamine.

Imma try these out.. love eating rasberrys with any pancake.
 
I made these today - SOOOOO good! I sprinkled Splenda and cinnamon on them and they tasted just like crepes.

Hubby couldn't believe they were "health food". ;)

hey. is cottage cheese very necessary in this recipe or any kind of cheese?

dry curd cottage cheese is almost tasteless. it doesn't even have salt in it.

you won't detect cottage cheese in the finished product. if you try to use cheddar cheese, it would taste AWEFUL.
 
Wow, these are GREAT, one of the best recipes Ive ever tried really. Doesn't take long at all to make and they are DELICIOUS. Also, I can't stand cottage cheese, yet you wouldn't even know that its in here! Thanks malk :)
 
No problem. they freeze well too, so we make 2-3 batches worth and they last a week or so...just depends.

we even reduced the splenda last time to 1/4 cup and they're still plenty sweet even without syrup (I have 100% pure maple syrup for when I have this as post workout nutrition)
 
how would you cook em /w a frying pan? just pour the mixture on top? I've never made pancakes before. substituting raisins for the date would be OK?

Something like a griddle would be best for pancakes, the high temperature is sorta needed. I myself have never tried on a regular frying pan, so I can't really help you out there. I'm sure raisins would be great as well, I should try that next time..
 
I'm really tempted to try these for breakfasts as i'm not particularly fond of plain oatmeal as a stand-alone meal, plus my breakfast could use more protein. Would these still taste ok without the salt and splenda? I was thinking about using yogurt as a topping. I've found about 20 different recipes for oatmeal pancakes online, but this was the one with the best protein content (without relying on protein powder), the fewest ingredients, and the quickest/cheapest to make. I'm really looking forward to trying them. Never tried cottage cheese before but if it's truly hidden in this food (taste and texture wise) all the better.
 
wow. thanks for bumping this. I'm def going to have to try this over the weekend! my mouth is watering already.
 
thank you for the recipe.

I tried cooking it on frying pan, but it was kinda hard, since the mixture was too thick. (ending up with inside not completely cooked)

So, I just added some milk just enough to make it soft.
And it works really well on frying pan.
(i used non-stick pan. I didn't even need nonstick spray or anything)
