Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
¾ cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
⅓ cup milk, or as needed
1 teaspoon butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a blender and blend until smooth. Measure 1 cup pureed cauliflower and store any remaining in a container in the refrigerator for another use.
  • Stir 1 cup cauliflower puree and cottage cheese together in a large bowl until smooth. Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon into cauliflower mixture until batter is just mixed and thickened. Add eggs to batter until thoroughly mixed. Stir milk into batter, adding 1 tablespoon more at a time if needed, until batter is smooth.
  • Heat butter in a large frying pan over medium heat; drop heaping tablespoons batter into the melted butter. Cook until batter begins to bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook other side until browned, 3 to 4 more minutes. The inside of these pancakes will be softer than traditional pancakes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes are low carb, super tasty, and perfect for lunch or a side dish. Ingredients •1 head cauliflower (or a 16 oz bag of frozen cauliflower) •2 large eggs •½-3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I love cheese, so use closer to ¾ cup) •¼ cup diced green onions •½-1 cup bread crumbs (I usually need closer to 1 cup) •½ tsp cayenne pepper (more of less to taste) •salt •olive oil •light sour cream (optional) Instructions 1.Cut cauliflower into florets and cook in boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes 2.Drain and mash the cauliflower while it is still warm 3.Stir cheese, eggs, green onions, bread crumbs, cayenne & salt to taste 4.Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat

Steps:

  • 5.Form the cauliflower mixture into patties about 3 inches across 6.Cook until golden brown & set, about 3 minutes per side 7.Enjoy with some light sour cream!

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to grate the cauliflower. This will save you time and energy, and it will also result in a more even grate.
  • Be sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the cauliflower as possible. This will help the pancakes to hold together better.
  • Don't overcook the pancakes. They should be cooked through, but they should still be slightly soft and moist in the center.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, cheese, salsa, and guacamole.
