Pancake recipe

I have been making these pancakes like crazy. They are yummy and healthy (only about 50 calories per pancake and full of protein). I load them full of fresh blueberries before cooking them. Make sure you have a good non-stick pan if you want to give them a try- cook on medium for 2-3 minutes/side.



Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients

.5 cup dry oatmeal
.5 cup fat free cottage cheese
4 egg whites
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 packet Stevia* (2 packets for sweeter pancakes)
a Blender

Directions

Blend everything except the oats. Once you have a smooth liquid, add the oats and blend for only a little bit, you want the batter to be a little bumpy.

If you're going to add fruit (like blueberries), add them whole to the batter after you blend it or your batter will be too liquidy.
I usually let the batter sit for a couple minutes, to thicken up a bit.

Cook in a pan coated with no stick cooking spray. Makes about six 4-5” pancakes.
Top with your favorite sugar free syrup.

*Splenda packets can be used in place of Stevia.
