Help me with pancakes (details below)

[Anonymous]

I got the idea in another forum to make pancakes for my kid to eat on the way to school. I want them to have protein. I will use trader joes pancake mix. I was thinking of dumping in some pumpkin stuff (Libby's? In the can?). So. I can barely make hard boiled eggs, so am not much of a cook.

How do I make these pancakes incorporating cottage cheese for the protein and the pumpkin stuff?my question goes specifically to proportion. How much cottage cheese to how much pancake mix is what i need help with. I plan to try making pancake muffins.

Why not just make a pumpkin muffin? Pancake muffins work okay for small/mini muffins better than big ones because the batter tends to be thinner.

Google "pumpkin muffin cottage cheese" or "high protein pumpkin pancake" and see what comes up. Pancake mixes make things easier because they already have the baking powder and baking soda and salt added in, but if you just follow a recipe as listed, even without using a mix, it's pretty simple.

I never buy baking powder or soda and don't want to have to throw it out when I don't use the leftovers. That's why I prefer to use the pancake mix. I only like to buy things I can use to completion.

Uh baking powder and soda keep for awhile and are staples in a kitchen. Yikes.

Baking soda is so inexpensive and can be used for some cleaning (sinks) and brushing teeth. Baking powder keeps at least a year. Maybe you'll find that you enjoy baking! Something baking in the kitchen makes the entire house smell heavenly!

Greek yogurt pancakes. High protein, only 4 ingredients, idiotproof.

It is so disappointing to come here to ask a specific question, seeking specific information, only to have people respond with arguing about methods, or not answering the main question at all.

If you can't or won't help, please just dont bother replying.

Half cup egg whites, half cup cottage cheese and half cup oatmeal. Or try 1 egg, 1/3 cup pumpkin, 1/3 cup cottage cheese, oatmeal.

Sorry.

Sometimes the question is just dumb. "How do I make good, high protein pancakes... but I want to use a mix." Good pancakes are very easy but they don't come from a mix.

What if you use the trader joes pumpkin spice pancake mix, then one less thing to incorporate.

Don't know if it's available yet, but we love to buy it every fall!

I just want to know how to add protein via cottage cheese to the pancakes made with TJs mix. This is something I make anywhere from 1-3 times a year. I don't want to bother with baking soda or powder which I never need without even first knowing if my daughter will like pancakes with extra protein. Please try really hard to recognize that some people ARE counting every penny and "not that expensive" to you can throw off my whole budget, and that some people DOCook very simply.

Just buy pumpkin muffins or google for recipes. You are very demanding of internet strangers.

If you are counting every penny, why would you buy a mix? Mixes are more expensive than buying the ingredients separately, especially if you will only make this 2 times a year. You could make more, different kinds of meals, if you buy the ingredients separately.
