Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes
Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes are low carb, super tasty, and perfect for lunch or a side dish!
I love cauliflower and discovering new ways to use it for low carb recipes. I started making these Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes a couple of years ago as a low carb alternative to these yummy corn fritters. The first time I made them my family and I couldn’t get enough of them. They are full of flavor and super tasty! We enjoyed them so much, I started making them for lunches, as a side with our favorite meals, and even for breakfast a time or two.

I do love potatoes, but when I find a way to make something low carb, I will jump on the idea. I saw this recipe on Food.com and modified the ingredients to my liking. I made Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes last week after a tough boot camp workout and felt great eating something low carb after just burning hundreds of calories. If you do not use all of the mix, it refrigerates well until the next day. I love Cheesy Cauliflower Pancakes and since I have all of the ingredients, I am going to make them for lunch today!
