Protein Pancakes
Unlike most protein pancake recipes, this one does not contain protein powder. All the protein comes from cottage cheese and egg whites.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup egg whites (or 4 egg whites)
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- cinnamon
- sweetener of choice (optional)
Blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour into heated and greased frying pan, cooking until browned on each side.
You can also get creative and add blueberries…
Chocolate chips…
Apple butter or jam…
Strawberries…
Or you can dip them in a nut butter syrup…
A mix of 1/4 cup table or maple syrup (I use E.D. Smith sugar-free) and 1/2 tbsp nut butter.
Why stop there? Pancake batter can also be used for waffles!
Enjoy!! :)
