👍 Why they’re good for diabetes

  • Low glycemic impact compared to regular pancakes
  • High protein (from cottage cheese & eggs) → helps control blood sugar spikes
  • Minimal refined carbs

⚠️ Tips to make them even better:

  • Skip oats completely for ultra-low carb
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for slower glucose absorption
  • Pair with:
    • Greek yogurt
    • Nuts (almonds, walnuts)
    • Fresh berries (low glycemic fruits)

Avoid:

  • Syrup, honey, or sugar-heavy toppings

🍓 Smart topping ideas

  • Cinnamon + crushed nuts
  • A few blueberries or strawberries
