INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 2 egg whites*
• 1⁄3 cup low-fat, low-sodium cottage cheese

*Preferably from fresh eggs, not a carton, as it changes the consistency.

Optional Toppings:

DIRECTIONS

1. Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. If batter is still thick, add another egg white. Refrigerate batter for 3 minutes while heating a pan over medium heat.
