These cottage cheese-filled pancakes are easy to make and good to eat!

Suggestions:

Note: The texture is different from traditional pancakes in that they are not as light and fluffy.

Time-saving tip: Can make extra batter, refrigerate for 2 to 3 days for use in future meals.

Ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats, dry

1 cup fat-free cottage cheese

8 egg whites *

1 tsp cinnamon **

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend until fully blended.

Pour 1/4-cup pancakes onto a heated grill which has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until brown enough for your taste.

Variations:

* To spare the egg yolks, replace egg whites with equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.

** Other suggestions for flavorings and fresh fruit toppings:
1) lightly-microwaved sliced apples with a dash of cinnamon (along with the cinnamon in the pancake mix)
2) for sliced bananas, can add a little banana flavoring in pancake mix
3) for other sliced fresh fruits, replace pancake cinnamon with vanilla
