Blueberry Pancakes
This morning, I decided to revisit my oatmeal protein pancake recipe but I added some fresh blueberries to the batter after blending it. And this time, I divided the batter into 3 smaller pancakes. Wise decision!
Trust me, these pancakes are pure heaven. Eating them almost feels like “cheating” (I so hate the concept behind that word. Indulging would be more accurate…) They are so incredibly moist and tender and soooo full of flavor that you only need add very little to dress them up. Today, I opted for a tablespoon of 1% fat cottage cheese, a drizzle of Apple Blossom Honey (about a teaspoon is all it took) and a handful of fresh blueberries. Oh, and a few gooseberries, ‘cause I find they look so pretty!
Of course, the possibilities are endless. You could add raspberries or strawberries to the batter instead, or a few toasted nuts even, why not? Garnish with any kind of fruit that you like. Sprinkle with nuts, or chopped mint maybe… Don’t care for cottage cheese on your pancakes? Try a little bit of low fat plain yogurt, or low fat sour cream perhaps. A teaspoon of maple syrup instead of honey wouldn’t hurt either. Just don’t go overboard…
Seriously, do yourself a favor and try those pancakes. You will be glad you did!
Just look at that moisture! That’s wholesome goodness for you…
