Introduction

I found this recipe in the "Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook," but made 2 changes. I used organic pure cane sugar instead of maple sugar flakes, and I used 1% low-fat cottage cheese instead of fat free. The batter is a little on the thin side, but use a 1/4 cup measure for each pancake, and the size will be easily manageable to flip. There is a tip in the cookbook to bring the egg whites to room temperature first, which makes fluffier pancakes, but I did not do this and they were fine. Both of my sons gave this recipe 2 thumbs up, and I like that it is packed with protein! I found this recipe in the "Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook," but made 2 changes.

Ingredients

    Dry:
    1 1/4 C whole-wheat flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    2 T organic pure cane sugar
    1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    1/4 tsp sea salt

    Wet:
    8 egg whites (or 1 1/2 C egg whites in carton)
    1 C 1% low-fat cottage cheese
    1 C fat-free plain yogurt

    Recipe also calls for cooking spray, but I use a nonstick pan and it was not needed.

Directions

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in center.

2. Combine wet ingredients in medium bowl. Pour into dry ingredients. Stir until just moistened.

3. Heat nonstick pan or griddle on medium high. Use 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until lightly browned on both sides.
