Introduction

This recipe was inspired by a protein waffle recipe posted by another sparkpeople member. I upped the protein content by using a scoop of protein powder. The pancakes are delicious topped with the jam. Quick and easy to make. Freeze leftovers and reheat in the microwave.

Ingredients

    1 large egg
    6 egg whites or 3/4 cup liquid eggwhite
    1 cup low fat cottage cheese (1%)
    1 cup quick cooking oats (not cooked)
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    1 scoop (35 grams) protein powder, vanilla or strawberry
    Nonstick cooking spray (like Pam)
    2 tbsp. light double fruit jam

Directions

Makes 20 fl. oz. of batter. Each pancake is made with 5 fl. oz. of batter, for a total of 4 pancakes.

Combine all ingredients, except the jam and cooking spray, in a blender or food processor. Blend for about a minute, scraping the sides if needed. Lightly spray a non-stick crepe pan and pre-heat to just a little over medium heat. The batter should sizzle when it hits the pan, but you don't want it to burn. Pour the first portion into the pan, and tilt pan to make the batter spread evenly. Cook a couple of minutes, until the top is covered with tiny bubbles and a brown crust has formed on the under side. This crust allows you to turn the pancake with breaking it. Flip the pancake and continue to cook for a couple of minutes, until the underside is golden brown. Remove from pan. Repeat for each pancake.

Top each pancake with half a tablespoon of the jam, spread evenly.

For a thinner French crepe, add 1 cup skim milk to the batter in the blender. Use only 3 fl. oz. of batter to make each crepe.
