Breakfast Mock Cinnabon (Low Carb)

Submitted by TheDancingCook

"This is one of my favorites on the South Beach diet. I usually eat this for breakfast or for a snack; it really satisfies my "sweet tooth". For those on South Beach, count the pecans as part of your daily nut allowance."

This was great! I added a drop or two of Maple Extract flavor. It was delicious. Thank you.

I'm surprised! A little skeptical but the reviews convinced me to give this a try. I'm glad I did. I'm sure I will make this again. I might use a tad less sweetner next time.

I just made this, as I have been on a low carb diet for 5 weeks. I used fat free ricotta, a stivia packet, and pecan cookie pieces toasted cuz that's what I had on hand. My cinnamon came out to fast, so it was alittle over barring, but all in all not a bad recipe. I may try whole milk riccota and alittle more sweetner next time. It is a nice change from eggs, and I love my eggs, I eat one just about everyday/night to boost my protien levels. I will for sure make this again.

I really liked this! I didn't have pecans or walnuts so I used a teaspoon of low fat granola. I will make this again.

Not bad, I've never really had cottage cheese before so this was new to me. I subbed walnuts for pecans (less carbs). I also added 1 tbsp of low-carb apricot preserves to the mix.
