These Lemon Blueberry High Protein Pancakes are high in protein and super delicious—you wont even miss the flour!
Ingredients
- FOR THE PANCAKES:
- ½ cups Old Fashioned Oats
- 3 Egg Whites
- ½ cups Cottage Cheese
- 2 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
- 2 teaspoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- ¼ teaspoons Lemon Zest
- ¼ cups Water
- ⅔ cups Fresh Blueberries
- Coconut Oil, For Greasing Pan
- FOR THE YOGURT TOPPING (optional):
- ¼ cups Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- ¼ teaspoons Lemon Zest
Preparation
Combine oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, vanilla powder, lemon juice, lemon zest, and water in a blender. Blend until mixture is pureed. You may need to scrape some of the protein powder from the sides of the blender, as it tends to stick. Once pureed, pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and fold in the blueberries.
Heat a griddle or fry pan over medium-high heat and add enough oil to lightly grease the pan, approximately 1 teaspoon to start (you will add more as needed for more pancakes). Once oil is hot, pour ⅓ cup of the pancake mixture into the center of the pan. Allow to cook for 2–4 minutes, or until edges start to harden and a spatula can easily slide underneath the pancake. Flip over and cook an additional 2–4 minutes, or until batter is cooked through. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
To make the optional yogurt topping, combine yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small mixing bowl. To serve, drizzle yogurt sauce over pancakes along with a few fresh blueberries and optional lemon zest for garnish.
