Chocolate Strawberry Protein Pancakes Rezept

Ingredients (2 Large Servings)

For the Pancakes

• 1 cup (80 grams) oatmeal
• 1 cup (226 grams) 1% or fat free cottage cheese
• 1 cup liquid egg whites (whites from about 6-7 eggs)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 Tbsp cocoa powder

For the Syrup

• 12 oz strawberries, washed and chopped up
• 1 Tbsp sugar (or sugar substitute)

Instructions

To make the syrup, sprinkle sugar of strawberries and stir. Let that mixture sit for as long as you can in the refrigerator to bring out the juices in the strawberries. (If you really want to avoid any added sugar, you can use raspberries instead and just heat them with a tad bit of water to create a syrup.)

Put everything in a blender. I find it easiest to weigh the oatmeal and cottage cheese. Just set the blender right on your scale, zero it, add the oats, zero it, and add the oatmeal. Also you can buy just egg whites, but it’s actually cheaper to buy regular eggs and just throw away the yolks.

Blend away – I blend about a minute or so and don’t even need to scrape down the sides. It’s best to let the batter sit at least five minutes. You can make the batter the day before and put in the fridge overnight.

Heat a skillet, spray with nonstick cooking spray, and make pancakes.

Pour syrup over pancakes and enjoy!

Makes 2 very big servings, but I often get 3 servings out of it. (I like to make my pancakes a bit smaller so they are easier to flip, so I probably get 10 pancakes out of it.)
