Did someone say Pancakes!?

Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes 

This is a recipe I borrowed from my friend @committed_jay
He's a superhero trainer down in AUS, and legit LOOKS like he stepped out of a Hero-Comic!
These Pancakes have a double PUNCH of protein and antioxidants!

 
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ cups whole-meal flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup Sucanat
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
 
Wet Ingredients
  • 8 egg whites (slightly whisked)
  • 1 cup low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese
  • 1 cup low-fat or fat-free plain yogurt
  • ½ cup fresh/frozen blueberries (*or any berries)
  • Cooking Spray
 
 
Method
  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium bowl and make a well in the center.
  2. Combine eggs, cottage cheese and yoghurt in a small bowl. Pour into well and stir until just moistened.
  3. Add blueberries and fold into mixture.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan to medium-high with cooking spray. Use ¼ cup of pancake mixture for each pancake.
  5. Cook until browned on both sides.
  6. Serve with fruit.

Tips
