Protein Pancakes (Base Recipe)

I make these pancakes alot on the weekends. You can also make a bunch during the weekend and freeze them, they are just as good tossed in the microwave in the mornings and topped with berries, honey, or Walden Farms Pancake Syrup. :) I make the pancakes with flour for some added carbs, but they can also be made without. Below are the nutritional breakdowns for the pancakes with and without flour. You can also add fruit (bananas, strawberries, blueberries, apples) or dark chocolate, whatever you like really to the pancakes. This is a great base recipe to build on, depending on what you like.

1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 scoop protein of choice
1 packet stevia (or 1 tsp)
1 c non-fat cottage cheese (don't worry, i HATE cottage cheese and cannot taste it or the texture in this recipe, just adds some good protein to it)
4 egg whites
1/2 c unsweetened applesauce

1tbsp vanilla extract

• Take all the above ingredients and put into a food processor or blender and blend thoroughly.
• Warm up large skillet on medium heat, spray with cooking spray, and pour the pancake mixture (about a 3/4 c amount) into skillet.
• Cover the skillet for about 2-3 minutes, make sure  the pancake starts to bubble and the bubbles start to burst, then flip for about 30 seconds on the other side.
• Make sure to spray skillet after each pancake so they don't stick to skillet or use a good non-stick pan.
