OMG!!! If you haven't tried any variation of a protein pancake yet...you are missing out!! I just made my first patch this morning and it was delicious! Every morning, I like to have a nice hearty breakfast (most important meal of the day) although hearty can come with a few too many extra calories, especially those pancakes! This recipe is a sweet alternative to those not-so-light cakes. These cakes are packed with 47 grams of protein and are still less than 430 calories. I'm convinced that after you try them, you will never make pancakes the same way again. Enjoy:-)
Serves: 1 ( 1 very large pancake or 2 smaller pancakes)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup quick oats, dry1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese3 egg whites 1/2 serving of your favorite protein powder (I use 100% Whey vanilla)Coconut oilFresh berries, optional2 teaspoons honey
Directions:
Combine quick oats, cottage cheese, egg whites, honey and protein powder in a blender. Mix well until it resembles traditional pancake batter.
Heat a large skillet over low heat, and lightly coat with coconut oil. Pour the batter to the center of the skillet into 1 or 2 cakes. Let it cook for approximately 3 minutes until the sides easily lift. Flip pancakes and cook for an additional two minutes.
Serve with fresh fruit, agave nectar, or the topping of your choice.
*Don't be afraid to play around with different ingredients in your batter, ie. bananas, cinnamon, coconut, peanut butter & the list goes on.
