Ingredients (Makes 4 Pancakes)

  • 1 large apple, cored (or 2 small apples)
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
  • Cinnamon to taste
  • Monk fruit powder (optional for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to over-blend; you want a smooth batter with a bit of texture.
  2. Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour the batter into the pan, creating pancake rounds. Cook until golden brown on each side.
  3. Serve: Serve warm with a sprinkle of cinnamon. A dollop of applesauce on top adds a little extra flavor if desired.
