Calories: 290kcal
Equipment
- blender (full or mini-size)
- Mini-waffle cooker such as a Dash (for waffles, optional)
Servings:
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese 1% or fat free
- 1 cup oatmeal quick or old fashioned (not steel-cut)
- ½ banana or ¼ cup applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon optional
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 Tablespoons powdered sweetener such as Trivia, or vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in the blender and blend for about 30 seconds. (This requires a full-sized blender. If using a mini-blender like a Magic Bullet, you will need to do it in 2 batches.) Do not overblend - only mix until combined.
- The mixture should be the consistency of a very thick smoothie. It will be thicker than typical pancake batter.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes for the baking powder to activate.
- Heat a skillet to medium to medium-low (lower than you would use for regular pancakes) heat. Spray pan with cooking spray if needed to prevent sticking.
- Alternatively, these can be made into small waffles in a mini-waffle maker such as a Dash. If using a waffle maker, pre-heat the waffle maker and spray generously with cooking spray every time you start a new waffle.
- Pour mixture into pancakes, about ⅓ cup each. When the top begins to bubble, flip over. Cook until golden brown and serve. The whole batch makes 2 servings. Make 4-6 pancakes per serving, or 4-5 mini-waffles per serving.
