Just found your site! Thanks for your efforts! I’m wondering….will this recipe work for waffles?

Yes, I will have to say I agree with you. I have this book for months and have not opened it until yesterday with hoping to make waffles. To my surprise…not 1 waffle recipe. I have been doing LC for well January 2017 will be 2 years…with not great success either may I add. So I have been dying for waffles. ??No waffles.

Hi GrandmaLinda, welcome! I’ll be honest … with as much experience as I have, and as many things as I’ve cooked in my life … I have never made a waffle. I’ve never owned a waffle maker and I’ve never worked in a restaurant that made waffles. I “assume” it would work, but honestly have no idea. Worst case, you can make the batter, set it up, test it and … if it doesn’t work, just use the rest of the batter to make pancakes. Not a terrible loss. Sorry I wasn’t more help, but … welcome to my site, anyway! Feel free to ask more questions. I’m typically a lot more helpful than this. 😉

Hi Sandy, not yet … or … not "exactly". However, it is there. Find the Vanilla OMM recipe. Use that batter, but add just a touch more almond milk, cream or water to thin it out to pancake batter consistency. That’s all it is! I’ll post a more specific recipe in a while.

Hi Jennifer … Yes. Probably! I honestly no longer make this recipe. I feel like I’ve found a better one … Now, I make the batter for my Vanilla OMM and use that. That ALSO uses the Whey Powder, but … it’s not required. It helps, but it’s not required.

Nikki, try cottage cheese. I’ve used it lots for low carb pancakes and you don’t taste it at all!!

Hi Nikki, my gut says it’ll work. However, I tried that with crepes and it DIDN’T work. Somehow the ricotta helps to hold it all together … I suspect it will matter MUCH less with the pancakes, but I can’t promise you anything. I think it’s worth a shot! Let me know how it turns out. THANK YOU for the kind words!!! 🙂

Hiya 🙂 am very curious to try these, I MISS pancakes ^_^ I am however wondering if I could sub the ricotta with regular cream cheese…what do you think?? I really really do not like ricotta. I’m going to try and I’ll let you know 🙂 Thanks, your recipes and site and FB ROCK

Yep, standard flax will do the trick. Your pancakes will just be a bit darker, but no less delicious. Just pay a little extra attention to the "browning" side of the pancake. Because the batter will be a shade darker, it may look ready to turn, a little sooner than it is. It’s a small thing, though. Not to worry. Enjoy your pancakes!
