Instructions

In a blender or food processor, combine the oats, cottage cheese, egg whites, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, milk, and protein powder. Blend until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
Pour the batter onto the skillet, making small pancakes (about 3-4 inches wide). Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Once the pancakes are done, stack them in a bowl and top with fresh fruit, nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.

Enjoy your high-protein pancake bowl!

Notes

You can use any flavor of protein powder, but vanilla or unflavored works best for this recipe.
For a vegan version, swap the egg whites for flax eggs or chia eggs and use a plant-based protein powder.

Customize the toppings based on your preference or what’s in season.
