Ingredients
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 1 teaspoon Pure maple syrup (optional, for drizzle)
Directions
Step 1
In a blender, combine egg whites, rolled oats, low-fat cottage cheese, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and baking powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 2
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
Step 3
Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread it slightly with the back of a spoon to form an even circle.
Step 4
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form and the edges begin to set.
Step 5
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 6
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a light drizzle of pure maple syrup if desired.
