Healthy Pancakes
My son is a pancake freak. Periodically at night he’ll ask, “MORE PANCAKES.” And by periodically, I mean every so often at 2Am. It’s like he’s having a sloppy pancake dream.
PANCAKES!
I use a recipe from my favorite cookbook, “Eating For Life
Here’s our pancake breakfast that keeps me from feeling too bad about indulging his passion.
Ingredients
1 cup Uncooked Whole-grain Oats (non-instant)
6 Egg Whites (We use egg substitute which comes out to 3/4 cup)
1 cup fat free Cottage Cheese*
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp ground Cinnamon
2 packets sugar substitute
1/2 cup sugar-free syrup
Create
1. Coat griddle in non-stick spray and turn on to medium heat.
2. In blender, combine Oats, Egg Whites, Cottage Cheese, Vanilla, Cinnamon, and sugar substitue until smooth. About 1 min.
3. Pour batter, about 1/4 cup at a time, onto hot skillet. When bubbles form on one side, flip.
4. Top with syrup and berries (optional)
*Today we only had a half cup of cottage cheese so we substituted one whole non-ripe banana and it came out deliciously. Banana Pancakes with protein. Kid Approved.

This looks REALLY good, and mine love pancakes too. I am definitely going to try it out!
I really like your kitchen set-up, especially with the plants on the ledge! And is that an espresso machine I see in the corner?
I have the one freak child in the universe who hates pancakes. HATES. She’s such a little weirdo.
And can I just say, little boy in dinosaur PJ’s, OMG nom nom!!
This all looks good but why the sugar substitute?
Wow, your kitchen is GORGEOUS.
Cute kiddo too!
Yes, the kiddo and the kitchen both look lovely.
& that sounds like a brilliantly healthy way to serve up pancakes. Must try!
