Who can resist a stack of freshly made pancakes, covered with the first ripe strawberries of the season? Now, there's no need to ever resist this wonderful breakfast treat. This is a recipe I've been using for years and it's the only way I can imagine eating pancakes. When I get up in the morning, I can whip up this recipe-for-one, to make some wonderful strawberry pancakes to have with that first cup of coffee!
Known around the internet as "protein pancakes," the recipe's so simple, there is no need for a link. In a food processor or blender combine: 1/3 cup each of oatmeal, cottage cheese and 2 egg whites. Add a pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla and a sprinkle of Splenda. Whir together, while you have a pan heating on the stove with a bit of oil spray in the bottom (don't forget the oil spray!). Pour the batter out into three equal sized rounds. Cook at a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then spray the top of the pancakes with oil before flipping. Cook for 1-2 minutes longer. While they are cooking, mash 3 or 4 strawberries and mix with a bit of sugar free syrup for your topping. Slice the rest of a cup of strawberries and arrange on top of your pancakes.
Dig in, and enjoy guilt-free!
