Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (4% or low-fat)
- 1/2 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small oven-safe dish or ramekin with a little oil or nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
- Add the cottage cheese, egg whites, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Stir until the mixture is uniform.
- Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin, smoothing the top slightly.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pancake has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool for 2–3 minutes, then loosen the edges and enjoy warm.
Notes
For a creamier texture, use full-fat cottage cheese. Quick oats can be substituted but will affect texture. Adjust protein powder to taste.
