Protein Peanut Butter Pancakes

I LOVE pancakes. More than waffles, more than eggs, more than cereal, more than oatmeal. But I never really eat them for breakfast because (1) I don’t really like to “prepare” something that early in the morning and (2) I don’t really see any nutritional value in your normal, typical, IHop kind-of pancakes. But when I heard of people making Sweet Potato protein pancakes or mixing in some protein powder with their batter, I started thinking that I could create a concoction that would allow me to have the same great taste with some added benefits. It was simple, easy, and DELICIOUS:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1 tsp. vanilla extract

4 egg whites

handful of blueberries

Directions: 

Mix all ingredients together (I just stirred with my hand, but if you want to use a blender that might be better).

PAM spray the pan and start cooking just like regular old pancakes.

Add your favorite topping! I added a mixture of 1 tbsp. melted peanut butter and a little Lite Maple Syrup. It hit the spot!

YUM!

What’s your favorite pancake topping?
