Directions:

These fluffy pancakes are simple and easy to make, plus they’re full of protein for a power breakfast or even a post-workout treat.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

In a medium bowl using a hand mixer or in a blender, combine cottage cheese, egg whites, flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla, and mix on low speed just until smooth.

Coat a nonstick griddle or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place it over medium heat. Working in batches, add 3 to 4 tablespoons batter per pancake to the griddle or skillet and cook until puffy and slightly set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, respraying the griddle or skillet as necessary.

Serve pancakes topped with yogurt and berries. Makes 8 to 10 pancakes.

Note: Instead of yogurt and berries, try serving the pancakes with butter, granola, syrup, or other favorite toppings.
