Golden Pancakes

Ok, I know that these sound really weird, but they're actually REALLY good, and by far, more healthy for you than regular pancakes. Not to mention a lot more filling.

Serves 2
From Eating for Life

1 C uncooked whole-grain oats (non-instant)
6 egg whites
1 C fat-free cottage cheese
1/4 t vanilla extract
1/4 t ground cinnamon
2 packets sugar substitute
1/2 C sugar-free maple syrup
1/4 C mixed berries

Lightly coat a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray; place over medium heat.

In a blender, combine oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, vanilla, cinnamon and sugar substitute. Blend on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.

Pour batter, about 1/4 cup at a time, onto hot skillet. Cook pancake until bubbly on top an ddry around edges, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook other side until golden brown, about 2 more minutes.

While pancakes are cooking, microwave maple syrup until warm, about 20 seconds.

Place a portion of pancakes on 2 separate plates. Top with warm maple syrup and mixed berries. Serve and enjoy!

**Notes from Em**
I used 3 whole eggs instead of 6 egg whites. Sure it changes the nutritional content a little bit, but the texture was still what I imagine it needed to be.
