We all love pancakes, right? They’re filling, a great winter comfort food, and – oh, yes! – absolutely deeeelicious! But this carb-heavy favorite don’t help us stick with our New Year’s resolution to lose weight. Or can they?
This recipe is from a reader in Texas. She describes these pancakes as a good source of protein, fiber, and – believe it or not – flavor. She writes, “I know ingredients like rolled oats and cottage cheese don’t sound like the ideal recipe for pancakes but give them a shot. They look like regular pancakes, and they sure do taste them too! It’s simply phenomenal you’re also cutting calories with these!”
Ingredients
- 6 egg whites
- 1 cup rolled oats (dry)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Put all ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet and spray with non-stick cooking spray or use a non-stick pan. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake. Flip when they begin bubbling.
- Cook until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
Tip: You can serve these up however you usually like your pancakes! with some powdered sugar and fresh berries.
