INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2/3 cup skim or 1% milk
- 2 eggs, separated
- Canola oil
- Maple syrup, jam, honey, warmed peanut butter or fresh fruit
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt and stir to combine. Add cottage cheese, milk and yolks and stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. Add beaten egg whites to flour-cottage cheese mixture and gently fold until combined. On a lightly oiled griddle, heat over medium-high heat. Pour batter onto griddle into rounds. Cook until batter bubbles and edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Turn over and cook other side until golden, 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
