Pumpkin Roll Pancakes – Low Carb, Grain Free, THM S

I was craving a pumpkin roll today but making one of those was more of a project than I wanted to undertake. I decided to take the same flavors of pumpkin plus cream cheese icing and make pumpkin roll pancakes instead.

If you follow me on instagram you may have seen my initial attempt at making this a waffle. I got to use my favorite hashtag #nailedit which was dripping with New Jersey sarcasm.

With a blender 2/3 full of batter I decided to give pancakes a try instead and they came out perfect. You need to keep them small so they cook through and flip without breaking but there is something special about a plate of silver dollar pancakes. Especially drizzled with icing.

I was halfway through making the pancakes when I realized I was out of cream cheese. My options were: drag four kids to the grocery store on a Saturday or make the icing with something else. I decided to trying making it with cottage cheese before I braved the supermarket. I actually really liked it! If you are out of cream cheese of just want to get in extra protein I encourage you to try the cottage cheese version.

Note: Larger pancakes may not cook through and may break when flipping.
