Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Serves: 1

Serving Size: 4 (ish) thin pancakes

• Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup oats

  • 1/4 cup egg whites

  • 1 egg

  • 1/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla 

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

• Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet or electric griddle to medium heat (300 degrees F). 

  2. Blend all of the ingredients together using a blender for about 30 seconds until smooth. 

  3. Pour the batter into nonstick skillet. Cook on each side for 1-3 minutes depending on your skillet/griddle.

  4. This makes 4 (ish) medium size thin pancakes. Feel free to make them smaller. I don’t recommend making fewer larger pancakes, because they will be difficult to flip over.

  5. Topping options: butter, peanut butter, maple syrup, fresh sliced bananas, granola, etc. My favorite is sliced banana, drizzled peanut butter, maple syrup and my homemade granola.
