Recipe for super-healthy protein pancakes

Hi everyone,

I have been feeling bad that I’ve yet to post a video for you.  So I decided to   share this really healthy recipe that Andrew and I here at myomytv.com enjoy almost every evening at home.  It is really easy to make and I have provided step by step instructions and also nutritional information that I worked out.

This will make a serving for 2-3 people.

Ingredients

9 medium egg whites
1 tub of natural fat free cottage cheese 250 grams
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 teaspoons of fructose/unrefined sugar
1 cup of porridge oats

You will also need low calorie spray for cooking with and if you like some fruit to serve with.  I have used an apple.

Method

Combine egg whites, cottage cheese, sugar, cinnamon and porridge oats in a bowl or large jug and blend until smooth.

Now use a small omelet frying pan and spray with a low calorie oil to stop mixture from sticking. On a medium heat pour in mixture until the bottom of the pan is completely covered.

Wait until small bubbles appear on top and then flip the pancake over and cook for a further 2 minutes. I would place the cooked pancake in a preheated oven on low to keep warm, while i cook the rest.

Once you have all the pancakes cooked (I usually get 5 good sized pancakes out of this mixture), simply top with peanut butter and a side serving of your favourite fruit, apple/banana goes really well.

I would normally have 2 of these pancakes as my last meal of the day, or sometimes for lunch. Andrew would have 3.

Now the nutritonal information.  I’d like to highlight that this is as accurate as I could get it, so it is only a guide:

Approximate Quantities per pancake (plain)

Calories 120Kcal
Protein 11.6g
Carbohydrate 8.7g
Sugar 2.2g
Fibre 1g
Fat 2.5g

There you have it, a slow realising protein, a low glycemic carbohydrate with the essential fats that are in peanut butter. ( Perfect )

Please let us know what you think of this recipe.

    Loved the simplicity of this recipe, I plan on making these for my breakfast tomorrow. Do you plan on sharing any more recipes?

    • Funny, I was thinking about doing a new recipe a while back. Will get thinking about one. With the pancakes, I prefer them without cinnamon. Enjoy. Oh and I put coconut oil and a little honey on to them – which is super yummy!

  6. Stupid question, but how do you make your porridge oat?

    BTW, I am french canadian and never heard of this term, if it can help me look less innoncent ;)

    I like to put a bit of vanilla in my pancakes, miam :)

    Also, is there a way to suggest recipes, I would love to share with others our heathly recipes.

    Thanks
