Cinnamon Cottage Cheese Pancakes

  • Time: 30 minutes
  • Servings: 2
  • Serving Size: 5.0 ounces
  • Stage: Post-recovery

INGREDIENTS:

  • Cottage cheese, low-fat 2% - 1/2 cup (113 grams)
  • Rolled oats, uncooked - 1/2 cup (48 grams)
  • Egg, whites only - 3 large (99 grams)
  • Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Cinnamon, ground - 1/2 tsp
  • Pure vanilla extract - 1/4 tsp
  • Strawberries - 2 oz (57 grams)
  • Pure maple syrup - 1 tbsp (20 grams)
  • Non-stick oil spray

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Mix all the ingredients except the strawberries and maple syrup in a food processor until well blended. The batter will make 4 small pancakes.
  2. Place a pan over medium-low heat. Once hot, spray the pan with a bit on non-stick oil spray and add about 1/4 of a cup of the batter. Use a spoon to give it a nice round shape. Cook for slightly less than 3 minutes on each side. Repeat until you use all the batter, adding a bit more oil spray in between rounds.
  3. Serve with 1 ounce of fresh strawberries and 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup per serving. Enjoy!

*Note: Divide equally by the listed number of servings. Add maple syrup only when serving. Stays fresh in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Since these pancakes have a lot more protein than traditional pancakes, they will be slightly denser and have a bit less fluff but they still taste amazing! Tip: Use 2 pans instead of 1 to cut the cooking time in half.
