Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes
A great high protein breakfast or snack!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup oat flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup cottage cheese (I prefer 4%)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 ounces sweet potato cooked and peeled
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ cup unsweetened apple sauce or 1/2 ripe banana
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Optional Toppings
- Greek Yogurt
- Peanut Butter
- Maple Syrup
- Nuts
Instructions
- Combine oats, oat flour, baking powder, and salt in a high-speed blender or food processer. Blend until fully mixed.
- Add in the remaining ingredients (potato, egg, oil, cottage cheese, vanilla, syrup, applesauce, spices). Blend until smooth and well combined. Stop a few times to scrape the sides to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add a little cooking oil and when the oil is hot, portion out the batter into small pancakes using a 1/4 measuring cup. I usually do 3 pancakes in a medium skillet.
- Cook until you see small bubbles forming on the top of the pancake and the edges seem dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Place cooked pancakes onto a plate and continue the process with the remaining batter. Enjoy warm with topping of choice!
