Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancakes (A preview of February's breakfast menu)

I tried this high protein pancake recipe and lets just say its like a french toast pancake.  This will be a definite freezer breakfast recipe that I want to keep on hand.  The recipe made 8 pancakes. They are only 2 weight watchers + points per pancakes and are very satisfying.




 This recipe was adapted from The Biggest Loser Recipe for Oatmeal Pancakes.




Ingredients:

6 egg whites
1 cup rolled oats, dry
1 cup fat free cottage cheese
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

In a blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. For each pancake pour 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle. Flip when they start to bubble. Cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batches, spraying the griddle as needed. Makes about 8 pancakes.

Number of Servings: 4
