Power Pancakes

Pancakes are delicious, but that sugar crash that follows them is not fun! This recipe packs a lot of protein, keeping you feeling full longer and powering your muscles after a hard work out!

This recipe makes about 3 large pancakes.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup dry curd cottage cheese (top the measuring cup off with milk of your choice)

1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, at least 2 minutes. If the batter is too thick, add a bit more milk (almond, soy, or cow's milk all work great). Let batter stand for 5 minutes.
2. Coat pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Pour in desired amount of the batter.  Flip the pancake when it starts to bubble. Cook until both sides are golden brown.
3. Repeat step 2 with remaining batter.
4. Top pancakes with your choice of seasonal fruit, nuts, and agave nectar (if desired).
