Chocolate Chip Protein Pancakes
Soft, fluffy, high-protein pancakes with a touch of sweetness, perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2.5 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips Use mini chocolate chips for even distribution.
Instructions
Preparation
- Add the cottage cheese, rolled oats, egg whites, vanilla extract and cinnamon to a blender.
- Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and pourable.
- Transfer the blended batter to a bowl and gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease as needed.
- Pour the batter onto the heated surface, forming pancakes of your desired size.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until each pancake is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as berries, yogurt, honey or syrup.
Notes
Let the batter sit for 2 minutes after blending to thicken slightly before cooking. Lower the heat if the pancakes brown too quickly; they need a little extra time to cook through due to protein content. Freeze leftover pancakes for quick grab-and-go breakfasts.
