Need Help with Protein Pancake recipe I tried

These are by far the easiest and most delicious protein pancakes without the use of protein powder that I have found!!

Ingredients (per serving):
1/4 cup egg whites (approx 2)
1/4 cup 1% cottage cheese (I prefer Friendship whipped)
1/4 cup quick cooking oatmeal (not instant)

Use the magic bullet or blender to blend all of this together until it is pancake batter consistency. I add a sprinkle of cinnamon in there too.

Heat up a pan, pour batter in, wait until it bubbles, flip, and wait until done.

Serve with a tbsp of sugar free preserves or fresh fruit if desired.

Per good size pancake:

Cals = 150 kcal
Carbs: 15 g
Fat = 2 g
Protein = 18 g
Sodium = 281 g

A perfect breakfast and really yummy!




These pancakes were definatley delicious!~! But after I put them on my plate they started to sweat and got kind of soggy. Any ideas on why this happened? This was my first try so I may have undercooked them or possibly just used a wrong method of cooking. I cooked them on a griddle with pam. I might not need the pam since it is a nonstick griddle. Im not sure. Any ideas???? Thanks!~!

    Hmm, that's odd. I have to say, though, these look really good. I will try them soon and let you know if the same thing happens to me.

    To my eye it looks like a lot of moisture and not enough binder. I would up the oatmeal content.

    Here's a link to the recipe I use (I make pancakes instead of waffles with them and they turn out fine:

    When I make these (I do have the oat flour on hand), I also add 1 c whole old fashioned oats and have added 1/2 c. of pumpkin as well with no problems.
