Happy Wednesday🩷 I’ve been obsessed with these protein pancakes…they’re packed with protein, have clean ingredients, are GF, and keep me full all morning!!
WHAT YOU NEED:
• 1 Breakstones 2% Cottage Cheese cup (these are 100 cals per container — comes in a 4pck)
• 1/2 cup Bob’s Red Mill GF rolled oats
• 9 tbsp liquid egg whites (I use Pete & Gerry’s brand, 15g protein here)
• 1/2tsp baking powder for fluffiness
• OPTIONAL: cinnamon, I loveeeee cinnamon so I eyeball this in
(My recipe does account for 1tbsp mini chocolate chips and 4 tbsp sugar free syrup — calories could be less if you don’t use these — this is about 90 cals out of the 455)
WHAT YOU DO
• Blend all ingredients in a blender to form a smooth batter consistency. I’ve found if I blend it, stir it, reblend - I don’t need to add any water/milk to this.
• Grease your pan with a 0 calorie cooking spray - I use an olive oil spray
... Read moreI've been making these protein pancakes regularly, and what I love most is how quick and versatile they are. Using 100-calorie cups of Breakstone's 2% cottage cheese gives the pancakes a creamy texture and boosts protein without extra fat. Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free rolled oats add a nice wholesome base, while liquid egg whites keep the batter light and fluffly once you add the baking powder.
One tip is to blend the ingredients thoroughly and give the batter a stir before re-blending as suggested — this ensures no clumps and a smooth batter, which really helps with even cooking. I usually spray the pan lightly with olive oil spray just as recommended to prevent sticking without adding calories.
For flavor variations, I sometimes add cinnamon to the batter or top the pancakes with sugar-free syrup and mini chocolate chips, but keeping these optional can help control calories. The nutrition content of this breakfast is roughly 455 calories, with an impressive 33.5 grams of protein, making it perfect for muscle recovery or staying satiated until lunch.
What's great is that these pancakes are naturally gluten-free and clean, which works well for many dietary preferences. I’ve found they keep me full longer than traditional pancakes, likely because of the high protein and fiber from the oats. They’re a fantastic option for anyone on a fitness journey or anyone looking for an easy, nutritious breakfast that takes less than 10 minutes to prepare.
Ooou this is a must try😍
