Protein pancakes (kid-approved!)

Everyone LOVES pancakes, especially kids! But, when we do pancakes for supper I like to still make them part of a balanced meal.  This recipe uses cottage cheese and eggs as the protein sources and results in fluffy, delicious pancakes! Each pancake boasts 8 grams of protein!Protein Pancakes

  • 1 cup unbleached whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup  milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil.

In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, milk, vanilla and oil. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and whisk until just blended.Working in batches, form each pancake by spooning about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the skillet. Cook, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes total.Makes 8 servings.Nutritional Info (per pancake):Calories: 139 kcal Protein: 8 grams Fat: 7 grams Carbohydrates: 12 grams Fiber: 2 grams
