Skinny Blender Cheese Pancakes

This is my families favorite pancakes. I have been eating these my whole life and they are delicious! They are light almost like crepes, but on the healthier side. They are yummy with fruit, peanut butter or syrup on top!

I am always trying to substitute and look for ways in cutting back those calories or fat grams. I don't like a bunch of preservatives in my food and try to do things as homemade as possible. (However I do still buy flower or other products which I cant or don't have time to grow and make from scratch).

We always double or triple the recipe since so many disappear after they are made. They freeze really well so I separate them with parchment paper and stick them in a freezer bag for the next week or two. We like to pop them in the toaster and eat them with other things besides eggs, such as green smoothy/protein shakes.



Supplies needed:
  • Food processor (or blender)
  • Pancake griddle 
  • Sifter
  • PAM
  • Spatula 



Yields: about 14 pancakes

Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup cottage's cheese
  • 3/4 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup of all purpose flour or oat flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda


Instructions:

Put the eggs in the food processor till they are blended. Then add your cottage cheese till it is blended. next you will add your greek yogurt and blend again.

In a separate bowl you will use the sifter and add your flour, soda and salt. Then blend it in with the rest of the ingredients in the food processor. Next you will pour the batter in the bowl you had the flour in for easier access when dumping on the griddle.



Heat your griddle so its really hot. Mine goes to Med/Hot around a 6. Then you spray your pan with PAM really well so they don't stick. Then scoop about 1/4 cup onto the griddle. You will need to spread it out since the batter tends to be a little thicker than normal pancake batter. I use a measuring cup. You will want to do this quickly so it cooks evenly. Then flip them when ready.

If you want the pancakes smaller scoop less batter into the measuring cup!


ENJOY!
