These protein-packed pancakes are made with homemade oat flour that you create by blending rolled oats until floury. 97% fat-free cottage cheese (which gives these pancakes a big protein boost) also goes into the blender, along with baking powder, vanilla, a splash of milk, and a banana to add natural sweetness so that you don’t need to use any sugar. The pancakes end up with a creamy texture that feels rich and indulgent under the fresh fruit topping
Ingredients
Rolled oats, dry
1 cup(s), (90g)

97% fat-free cottage cheese
1 cup(s), (250g)
Skim milk
2 tbs
Vanilla bean extract

Fresh strawberries
2 cup(s), (260g), sliced

Instructions
1
Place oats, baking powder, and salt in a blender; blend on high until the mixture looks like wholemeal flour, about 30 seconds. Add the cottage cheese, milk, vanilla, 1 banana, and egg. Blend on high speed until smooth, 15 to 30 seconds.
2
Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium heat. Spoon a ¼ cup of batter per pancake into the pan; cook until the tops of the pancakes are covered with bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and cook until browned on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the remaining banana and strawberries. Top the pancakes with the berry mixture.
