This blueberry pancake recipe doesn’t just give you delicious start to the day, it’s also packed full of protein, electrolytes and slow release carbohydrates that will leave you feeling energetic and refreshed throughout the day.

Here’s how to make them in 4 easy steps.

Prepare Ingredients

First of all you need to assemble your ingredients.

Collect 2 eggs, 40g rolled oats, 75g low-fat cottage cheese, a packet of blueberries, ground vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.

Make Batter

The next step is to mix all of the ingredients together and whisk them until combined into a thick but smooth white batter.

Fry the Pancake Mix

Heat some coconut oil in a pan on medium heat—it’s lighter than olive oil and can make the pancakes fluffier.

Then cook pancakes one at a time by pouring some of the batter into the pan.

Cook until golden brown. Add a little more coconut oil between pancakes if needed.

Serve With Your Favorite Toppings

Once they’re all done, serve with your favorite toppings. Personally, I think they go nicely with some strawberries, banana and maple syrup.

Nutrition

These pancakes are packed full of nutrients—the eggs, oats and cottage cheese all contain high levels of protein. They also contain high fiber that aids digestion, while the blueberries are rich in electrolytes, helping to enhance the body’s immune system.
