Servings: 2
Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oats rolled or quick
  • 1 cup cottage cheese low fat
  • 1 cup egg whites or 4 whole eggs
Optional Ingredients
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp raw honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Add oats to a blender and blend until they are a fine powder.
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients (including any of the optional ingredients you are using) to the blender and blend until everything is well mixed and it reaches a runny batter consistency.
  3. Heat a pan on the stove over medium low heat. Add your cooking oil or butter of choice to the pan once it's heated.
  4. Pour your your preferred amount of batter onto the pan (depends on how large or small you want each pancake). Now would be the time to add any add-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries to the uncooked side of the pancake.
  5. Flip the pancake when the bubbles on the surface have popped and the other side is a golden brown color.
  6. Cook for another 2-3 minutes before putting it on a plate.
  7. Repeat these steps with the rest of the pancake batter.
  8. Add your toppings of choice (I like butter, maple syrup, heated frozen or fresh berries, chopped banana, almond butter, yogurt and cinnamon). Enjoy!

Notes

*You can add chocolate chips or fresh/frozen blueberries to these. I would recommend adding them onto the uncooked side of the pancakes while they are cooking, before you flip them.
*I like to cover the already cooked pancakes on with a tea towel or paper towel to keep them warm while the other ones are still cooking.
