Description
Healthy apple pancakes made with oats and cottage cheese. They taste decadent, but are packed with protein and fiber.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup old fashioned oatmeal
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup diced apples
- maple syrup, for topping
- Cinnamon Apples
- 1/2 cup diced apples
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Add oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, applesauce, baking powder and cinnamon into a blender and process until the batter is relatively smooth with a thick consistency. Stir in diced apples.
- Heat pan or griddle to low-medium heat and spray with non-stick spray.
- Once hot, scoop out about a quarter cup of batter at a time and pour onto pan. You should be able to make about 8 small pancakes.
- Cook until little bubbles form and the edges of the pancakes are solid enough to put a spatula underneath. Flip the pancakes and cook for one to two additional minutes.
- While pancakes are cooking, prep cinnamon apples by adding diced apples, maple syrup and cinnamon in a microwave safe bowl. Stir to combine and microwave for 30-60 seconds or until apples are soft and look similar to baked apples.
- For serving, place four pancakes on each plate, top with warm cinnamon apples and drizzle with maple syrup and/or nut butter.
