World’s Healthiest Pancakes

I spent a long time trying to find a healthy pancake recipe. You could take your favorite recipe and substitute a few ingredients here or there, and they turn out decent, but I wanted more. Eventually I gave up the search and then one day I came across the famed cottage cheese page. On there was a simple recipe for cottage cheese pancakes, a highly unexpected ingredient. Using that recipe as a guideline, I believe I have created the world’s healthiest pancakes! I’ve been making these for years now, and while they aren’t 100% identical to traditional pancakes, they are close enough and everyone loves them.

Ingredients:

3 eggs or 3/4 cup egg substitute
1 cup oats (regular or instant)
1 cup cottage cheese with salt
1 medium banana, ripe
dash of cinnamon

blueberries (optional)
chopped nuts (optional)
dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

Place all ingredients into a blender and puree. Add any optional ingredients and pour onto a hot skillet. Smaller pancakes are easier to flip. I like to top mine with a spread of my homemade Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter and topped with defrosted strawberries with the extra juice on top. These are what get me up in the morning.
