A stack of pancakes on a blue plate on a table.

It’s been a while since I added any recipes for your P.E.P.’s, so here is one I came up with just the other day.

HIGH PROTEIN PANCAKES:

Ingredients:

4 large Eggs (I use organic). 1-Cup Cottage Cheese (I use organic). 1/4 cup Steel-Cut oats (I use organic). 1/4 Cup Raw Almonds (I use organic). 2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I use organic).

A bowl of almonds is sitting on a wooden table.
Cottage cheese in a glass bowl on a wooden table.
Two brown eggs are sitting next to each other on a white surface . one of the eggs is broken in half.
Olive oil is being poured from a spoon into a glass bowl.

Directions: Grind up Oat’s and Almonds until they are fine (I use a coffee grinder but a food processor or even a blender will work).

A blender filled with eggs , butter , and flour.

Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth (I use a blender for this).

Three pancakes are being cooked in a frying pan

Cooking: Heat a good pan to medium / high heat. Add some oil to pan (I use extra virgin, Organic Coconut oil). Drop Heaping Tbsp dollops of batter into pan for silver dollar pancakes (you can make them as big as you like).

Cook until you see bubbles coming through the entire pancake, then flip them over. Brown other side (another 1-2 minutes or so) Plate and enjoy.

TAKU’s NOTE: If you’re feeling decadent add some Fresh Fruit, Maple Syrup, and even some fresh butter (I use Organic). If you prefer to avoid the oatmeal you may also use a combination of Coconut flour and Almond flour.
