I currently have absolutely no time for blogging. You may have noticed the incredible lack of posts and so I'm trying to be a little better about that. Even if brief. So here's my latest successful recipe and boy was it a great way to start the morning!
Powerful Protein Pancakes
1 - 2 cup oats*
1 cup cottage cheese
8 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla
a few shakes of cinnamon
* 1 cup of oats will make eggier, fluffier pancakes but creates a thin batter which rolls all over the pan unless you have a pancake form. 2 cups of oats will make a more filling, denser pancake. Maybe start with 1 1/2 cups for your first time trying this recipe.
1) Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until mostly smooth. I like to leave some oat chunks for texture, but the level of smoothness is completely up to your individual taste. You can also put all the ingredients in a bowl and use an immersion blender** to blend ingredients.
2) Warm skillet to medium heat and grease.
3) Use about 2 tablespoon of batter to make each silver dollar sized pancake. Cook just the same as you would a regular pancake. Wait for the edges to brown on top and for small bubbles to form on top before flipping each pancake.
4) Top with your choice of healthy or not so healthy toppings, cuz hey, at least the pancake is healthy!
** Immersion blenders are my new favorite kitchen tool. After being introduced to them by my good friend Karin a few years ago, I continue to be amazed by their versatility and hardiness every time I use one! No more finicky blenders. They also feel like use hardware tools in the kitchen, it's pretty fantastic!
