Protein: ~ 22g per serving (88 for whole thing)
Prep time: 8 minutes
Ingredients
(Dry):
- 1 cup blended oatmeal flour (I used Trader Joe’s Organic Rolled Oats with Ancient Grains and Seeds)
- 2 scoops of Vanilla Custard protein powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
(Wet):
- ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any other type of milk)
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese (I used one with 2% milkfat)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp of sweetener of choice (optional) (I used sugar-free maple syrup)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
(Other):
- Butter or choice of oil for greasing pan or griddle.
Optional topping(s): any type of fruit, nut butter, syrup, etc.
Step by Step:
- Gather your ingredients and a large mixing bowl.
- Mix the dry ingredients together.
- Blend cottage cheese with almond milk
- Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until combined. The batter should be slightly runny, not clumpy.
- Heat greased pan or griddle on medium to low heat.
- Cook pancakes to liking.
- Add toppings if desired and enjoy!
Pro tip: Keep heat on medium-low so the protein doesn't burn. These cook faster than regular pancakes!
