As I'm following the Weight Watchers program, I'm always looking for healthier recipes of the foods that I love and crave...like pancakes. And oh boy did I find one that I love! It's by Marcy @marcys_cleanplate on Instagram. She even has a video of her making the pancakes if you want to check that out. And get this...the entire pancake recipe is only 4 smart points...and it makes about 5-6 pancakes! Add some sugar free syrup (1/4 cup which is more than enough) for another 1 point and that's only 5 smart points for the whole meal! And it's delicious!! Don't let the strange ingredients fool you. You can't even taste the cottage cheese. Honestly. : )
Here's what you'll need...
1/3 cup of oats
1/3 cup liquid egg whites
1/3 cup of 1% low fat cottage cheese
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
sprinkle of cinnamon
blueberries (optional)
1. Put oats in a blender and blend until it turns into oat flour. It should be very fine and have the texture of flour.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend for about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and blend for another 30 seconds. Let sit for a few minutes while you preheat the griddle or pan.
3. Pour onto a hot griddle coated with some cooking spray and cook.
Add blueberries (if you like) and flip.
I'm telling you...they are really good!
And all those pancakes for only 4 smart points. Marcy says they are about 200 calories and have about 20 grams of protein. And they keep you full for a long time!
