🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, get your blender ready. Toss in the cottage cheese, eggs, oats, and a splash of vanilla extract. Give it a whirl until everything is smooth and creamy, like a milkshake. If you see some chunks, don't stress—just blend it a bit longer.
- Now, heat up your griddle or pan over medium heat. If you're feeling fancy, give it a quick spritz with some cooking spray. Or don't. Either way, get ready to make some pancakes!
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Let 'em cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they're golden brown and fluffy. Keep an eye on 'em, though! You don't want any burnt offerings.
- While the pancakes are cooling slightly, chop up your favorite fruits. Strawberries, bananas, blueberries—whatever floats your boat. Just make sure they're bite-sized pieces so they're easy to skewer.
- Alright, time to assemble the protein pancake skewers! Take a skewer and slide on a pancake piece, followed by a piece of fruit. Repeat until the skewer is full of deliciousness. Try to keep it colorful, makes it more appealing, ya know?
- Drizzle those skewers with a touch of maple syrup or honey. Or, if you're feeling extra wild, a dollop of Greek yogurt. And that's it! You've got yourself some awesome Cottage Cheese Pancake Protein Skewers. Enjoy!
