Anyone have a tried and true recipe for either? I've been slipping in veggies for a whil in them, but would like to up the protien....:confused:

3 cups old-fashioned oats

3 cups 2% cottage cheese

9 egg whites (sometimes I get sloppy and a whole egg goes in)

3 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

*small amount of milk to thin, if needed

*1/4 - 1/2 cup walnuts if your blender can tolerate it for good fats

*sometimes I add a banana or blueberries

 

Blend everything in a blender (I have a vitamix). I use a griddle pan to cook 8 at a time (1/4 c per pancake). I have enough for leftovers. Kids love it with honey or sometimes I'll put a few chocolate chips in each one after I flip them.

 

These are filling and healthy. They don't tell me they're hungry an hour later :001_smile:

Cottage Cheese Pancakes (and if you don't like cottage cheese, whiz it in the blender/food processor before adding! You won't be able to tell.)

 

Cottage Cheese Pancakes

 

 

1 Serving

 

These are high-protein pancakes and quite a treat!

 

Prep time: 10 minutes

Start to finish: 10 minutes

 

1 egg

1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese

1 tsp canola oil

3 Tbsp whole wheat flour

 

1. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a whisk until creamy.

 

2. Push the cottage cheese through a wire strainer into the egg in

the bowl. Mix well.

 

3. Add the oil and flour. Mix well.

 

4. Lightly oil a skillet and place over low heat. When the skillet

is hot, spoon the batter into the skillet making four pancakes.

Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook 2-3 minutes

on each side, or until lightly browned.

 

5. Serve with applesauce, apple butter or your favorite whole

fruit jam.

**I like to add a sprinkle of cinnamon, too. You can grind oats for 1 of the Tablespoons of flour for another little dose of protein! I love cottage cheese and eat it as a regular source of protein. :) There are plenty of variations of cottage cheese pancakes out there, too, so try a few to find the right combo of ingredients. Some have baking powder, some don't...

Here's another easy one with Bisquick: http://www.recipezaar.com/Cottage-Cheese-Pancakes-Bisquick-237624 (If you have your own healthier version of make-a-mix type stuff that would be better!)

I used to put peanut better on them, now that I'm allergic, I put sunbutter on oat flour pancakes. It's very yummy.

Do tell, what is sunbutter? Made from sunflower seeds?

This is the recipe that I use. I don't have a vitamix so I grind the oatmeal in a food processor then add the remaining ingredients. Top with apple butter or all fruit spread. Yum! They also freeze great if you want to freeze the leftovers.
