A Breakfast Worth Waiting For

I hear quite frequently, "I am so sick of my breakfast choices in the morning." Oatmeal.. eggs... egg white omelete... fruit with Greek yogurt... gets boring.

If you have never tried a protein pancake your missing out! They can be time consuming but they ARE worth the wait. A good friend of mine who is attending culinary school in New York City this spring sent me a recipe for pancakes she makes quite frequently. I gave her recipe a try this morning and YUM! Sean, who only ever eats eggs as his first meal, was peering over my shoulder while I was cooking and said he wanted to try it next time I made them... I think he knew I wasn't sharing mine ;). My mouth watering pancakes were cooking next to his fried eggs on the stove and I guess mine looked a bit more tasty.


check out the size of that pancake!

Power Pancakes

1/2c quick cooking oats
1/2c eggwhites (approximately 4 egg whites)
1/2c fat free cottage cheese
cinnamon and cocoa powder to taste

Mix together in a bowl (I blended mine for a liquid consistency).
Cook in frying pan at med-high temperature for approx. 2min on each side, or until preferred.

Best to eat for Breakfast, or pre/post workout.
Can add sugar free syrup, greek yogurt with berries, or a few dark chocolate chips (Very popular!).


I put a very small amount of peanut butter on top... seriously good. Fluffy, moist, tasty and VERY filling! I can't wait for her to share more recipes in the future!

Enjoy
