Protein Pancakes

I had a hankerin for pancakes!  I found a low carb recipe, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, so I spent the weekend perfecting it.  In the end, I'm thrilled with these!

Protein Pancakes:

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1/4 cup unflavored whey protein

2 eggs

1/2 t. baking powder

1/8 t. salt

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.  If needed, coat the pan with either non-stick spray, butter, or coconut oil.  In a frying pan over medium low heat, pour batter to make your pancakes approximately 6 inches in diameter or smaller.  Cover pan.  When batter creates "bubbles" they are ready to flip, just like with traditional pancakes.   

You can make the batter ahead of time and they still fix up nicely a day or even two days later.  These pancakes are a little thin, but that is how my family likes them.

This recipe makes 8-10 medium size pancakes.  The entire recipe is under 350 calories and is packed with 49 grams of protein and only 13 grams of fat (not including butter or toppings of course), and trace carbs.    Probably 2-3 pancakes would be a traditional serving, so if you're keeping track, divide the total by the number of servings you desire.
