Cottage Cheese Protein Pancake Recipe
To start off: here is an insanely quick and simple recipe. These are personally my favorite protein pancakes that I make consistently in my house! Simple in flavor and easy to switch up by adding Swolverine Protein Powder or semi-sweet chocolate chips if I want, they hold a soft consistency and are loved by the adults and the children!
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Serves: 4 pancakes
Ingredients:
- ½ cup oatmeal
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 3 egg whites (2/3 cup)
- 2 packets of stevia (if wanted)
- Dash of cinnamon
- 2 tbsp low sugar syrup
Directions:
- Pour the oatmeal, cottage cheese, egg whites, cinnamon, and sweetener into the blender or food processor.
- Blend for 10-15 seconds until all of the oats are ground up and the mixture is a medium consistency.
- Spoon about a 1/4 cup into a saucepan over low-medium heat and let cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden on the bottom side and then use a spatula to flip it.
- Add more cinnamon, semi-sweet chocolate chips, fruit, low-carb syrup, or honey for garnish
Notes:
- Although not originally written in, the Swolverine Collagen Protein and the Swolverine Vanilla Protein Powder both work wonderfully in these! Just add a bit more liquid-based ingredients to balance the recipe out, depending on the amount of protein powder I add.
- If you do not prefer sweetener, you can skip it altogether or you can add another sweetener of choice. You can also use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead.
- If the mix is too thin, add a bit more oats or protein powder. If it is too thick, add more egg whites.
