High Energy Protein Pancakes

What you'll need to get started:

1 cup of fat free cottage cheese
1 cup of egg whites
1.5 cups of Oatmeal

Throw 'em in the blender!


Pour 'em onto a hot griddle (350 degrees)

Cook 'em like regular pancakes and they'll look like regular pancakes. Makes about 8pancakes.


These pancakes will be a bit more dense than other pancakes that you are used to. A serving will be about 2 of these 3"-4" pancakes. Top them with a sugar free syrup, fresh fruit, apple butter, spreadable lowfat cheese, or my favorite, a nut butter. Just remember, if you are using a cheese or nut butter, to use it sparingly.


These pancakes pack a powerful energy punch by giving you:
228 Calories, 1.4 grams of fat, 0 saturated fat, 29 carbs, and 26 grams of protein.

A great way to start the day!

  2. My husband likes them, though I am sure he'd prefer the sugary version. Ellie LOVES them. Just let him add butter to his if he must, but almond butter is delicious on them. I also enjoy it with a wedge of Laughing Cow Light.

  3. I found at the grocery store with all the pancake syrups Maple Flavored Agave. I was 3 x's more expensive but sooo worth it.
