I found this basic recipe, but there were no directions on how to prepare it! On the first try, I blended everything together at once and got mixed reviews from the family. So I played with the ingredients, added a couple and varied the way of blending it. By try #5 everyone was happy with them! So, here’s my recipe for great protein pancakes.

Ingredients
- ½ cup oats
- ½ cup fat free cottage cheese
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (or) skim milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Stevia (to taste)
Optional Items
- Blue Berries
- Strawberries
- Cranberries
- Apples
- Bananas
- Raw nuts
Directions
In a food processor, blend oats into a flour mixture — as fine as possible — and set aside.
Place cottage cheese, egg whites, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon and Stevia into food processor and blend until smooth and frothy.
Add oat flour mixture to processor and mix until blended. Check the consistency of the batter and add more milk or oats to adjust if needed. If optional items are added, I found that more milk was necessary because the items thickened the batter.
Pour batter onto a hot skillet sprayed lightly with vegetable oil by full tablespoons: two heaping tablespoons per pancake; and use spoon to help the batter spread.
Turn burner to medium heat and cook a little slower than traditional pancakes. There will only be a few air bubbles visible, if at all. Carefully turn the pancakes as they will be delicate. After the first turn, they can be handled easily.
