Protein Pancakes

Thank you, Chris, for finding this recipe. I was skeptical at first, too, but you will love them. Make these pancakes this weekend when you are craving something good for breakfast. You will be completely satisfied and you will never know that you just ate healthy! Top these with berries, cinnamon, or even a little bit of whole fruit preserves. You will love them...and your kids probably will like them too...

Recipe makes two servings of three, 1/4 cup pancakes

Ingredients
1/2 cup egg whites (we buy the pasteurized containers of egg whites)
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup frozen, warmed berries with their juices as a topping or whole fruit preserves

Directions

Blend first four ingredients until smooth (I use the magic bullet; if you use a blender be sure to put the wet ingredients in first)

Pour approximately 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto heated griddle or non-stick pan (check to see if its hot enough with a splash of water-if it sizzles,its hot enough)

When pancake bubbles, flip and cook the other side.

Top with frozen, organic strawberries-warmed and sliced and poured over the top with their juices. Or substitute fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or bananas. Whole fruit preserves is also a very good choice. Look for one with NO added sugar.
