High-Protein Cottage Cheese Banana Oat Pancakes with Blueberries
Author: 
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 4 (3 pancakes per serving)
 
This batter could not be easier. Everything comes together quickly in a blender. Each serving has 15 grams of high-quality protein from the cottage cheese and eggs, and it also calls for banana, blueberries, and whole grain oats. For the topping, I like to add slices of banana, blueberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup. The recipe makes 12 pancakes. So it makes 4 servings (3 pancakes each). For bigger appetites, you'll get 3 servings (4 pancakes, and 20 grams protein).
Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • ¼ cup milk or soymilk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch salt
  • Heaping ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil for cooking
Instructions
  1. Place the eggs, cottage cheese, banana, oats, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a blender and blend until smooth and well combined.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
  3. Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Sprinkle a few blueberries onto each pancake before the batter sets. Work in batches. (The recipe yields 12 pancakes.)
  4. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You’ll know they are ready to flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
  5. Serve warm, topped with additional blueberries, sliced bananas, and maple syrup, if desired.
