Quick & Easy Protein Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup egg whites
• 1/4 cup cottage cheese
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Optional but makes it better: cinnamon

Add ons:

• fruit (my favorites to add are blueberries and strawberries)
• syrup
• nut butter (i use almond butter)

Directions:

1. Heat a small/medium pan over medium or medium low heat (depends on your stove)
2. Mix everything in a small bowl
3. Pour the  batter onto the pan to make the pancakes as big as you want (I usually make 2 medium sized ones)
4. Flip the pancakes after a minute or 2 when the bubbles come through the pancake
5. Top with your choice of toppings
6. Eat!

The cottage cheese makes these pancakes fluffier and the egg whites act as a great binding agent. All 3 ingredients are packed with protein. If you don’t like cottage cheese, don’t worry, you won’t taste it at all.

I would put the Macros but they are so variable with this recipe depending on what brand of ingredients you use.  In general, these pancakes will be very low-carb and high protein.

Enjoy!
