Pumpkin Apple Oatmeal Protein Pancakes
Pancakes that are full of protein and great flavors. The oatmeal and cottage cheese make for a great texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oatmeal
- 1/4 cup egg whites
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 2 Tablespoons canned pumpkin
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/3 cup chopped apples, reserving about 1 Tablespoon for topping
- maple syrup and pepitas for topping
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a deep bowl or cup. Give the ingredients a good stir to combine everything then blend with a immersion blender (or a food processor) until the batter is well combined and a smooth, thick consistency.
- Heat pan or griddle to low-medium heat and spray with non-stick spray.
- Scoop out about a quarter cup of batter at a time and pour onto pan. You should be able to make about 4 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.
- Place on a plate, sprinkle chopped apple and pepitas over the pancakes, drizzle with maple syrup and serve.
