As my quest to avoid diabetes has pushed me to an increasingly vegetable-dominated diet, I have experimented with some pretty weird substitutions to keep my favorite foods on the menu.Today I share a substitution that I found surprisingly satisfying: oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes. It doesn't incorporate vegetables, but it does cut out all the sugar and flour.
Sitting on that plate, they kind of look like Bubs from homestarrunner.com, don't you think?
Recipe:
1/2 C oatmeal
1/4 C cottage cheese
2 eggs (or equivalent)
dashes of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg
Process in a blender until smooth. Cook the mixture like a regular pancake.
They sound yummy -- especially the cottage cheese bit! But I know myself. I'd end up putting twice as much maple syrup on them, thus ruining all their sugar-free virtues. (This might have some YW bad-chastity-metaphor possibilities....once a sugar-free pancake has been syruped, it can never be unsyruped?)
