Gluten-free Pancakes ~ Delicious Too!



     We absolutely adore pancakes at my house. Pancakes were a staple breakfast at my house raising 4 children and a husband who is my favorite eater to cook for; he has a great zest for eating!  I have a terrific butermilk pancake recipe as well as rcipes for crepes and traditional pancakes. I have added blueberries and banana slices to my pancakes and I have become known in my youngest son's circke of friends as the Chocolate pancake Mom. 

     So it seems fitting that I look for pancakes recipes in cookbooks and on Pinterest on a regular basis. I started experimenting with some of them and tweeked a few of them to come up with the following recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

6 egg whites (large eggs)
1 1/4 cup instant oatmeal, dry
1 1/4 cup small curd cottage cheese of your choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/16 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons sugar

     Start by adding the egg whites to your blender and blend on high until they start to thicken. 


     Now add the cottage cheese, oatmeal, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Blend on high until very well mixed. 

     

     Fry your pancakes on a hot skillet or griddle with a little butter. Add the batter when the pan is fairly hot and if you sprinkle a few drops of water on it the drops sizzle. Turn the pancakes over when the edges are loose from the pan and bubbles appear through out the batter. 

     

     Enjoy!
