Directions

1. Combine oats, egg whites, cottage cheese, banana, milk, baking powder, vanilla and salt in a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Drop batter by scant 1/4 cup (50 ml) portions onto a greased griddle or large nonstick skillet; cook until bubbles appear on one side, flip and cook until golden. Serve with berries and maple syrup to taste.

Tips

• Pour the batter into a pitcher and mix in flavour additions such as frozen blueberries or raspberries, chopped fresh strawberries or mini chocolate chips by hand.
• Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option.
• If batter thickens upon standing, add a little extra milk and re-blend until pourable.
