Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2½ cups rolled oats
- 2 cups egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend Batter: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, egg whites, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Chips: Gently fold in chocolate chips using a spatula.
- Preheat Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

- You can swap chocolate chips for blueberries or chopped nuts for variation.
- For extra sweetness, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup directly into the batter.
