These Lemon Blueberry High Protein Pancakes are the perfect easy and healthy breakfast – they’re high in protein and super delicious – you wont even miss the flour!
Ingredients
- For The Lemon Blueberry High Protein Pancakes:
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- 3 egg whites
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup water
- 2/3 cup fresh blueberries plus more for topping
- coconut oil for greasing pan
- For The Lemon Yogurt Topping:
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Combine the oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, vanilla powder, 2 tsp. lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. lemon zest, and water in a blender.
- Blend until the mixture is pureed. You may need to scrape some of the protein powder from the sides of the blender, as it tends to stick.
- Once pureed, pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and fold in the blueberries.
- Heat a griddle or fry pan over medium-high heat and add enough oil to lightly grease the pan, approximately 1 tsp. to start (you will add more as needed for more pancakes).
- Once the oil is hot, pour 1/3 cup of the pancake mixture into the center of the pan. Allow to cook for 2-4 minutes, or until the edges start to harden and a spatula can easily slide underneath the pancake.
- Flip over and cook an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the batter is cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining pancakes.
- To make the optional yogurt topping, combine the yogurt, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small mixing bowl.
- To serve, drizzle the yogurt sauce over the pancakes along with a few fresh blueberries and optional lemon zest for garnish.
