Ingredients
 

  • ⅓ to ½ cup whole grain pancake/waffle mix*
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 ripe large banana
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup thinly sliced fresh strawberries
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons maple syrup, optional
  • *Depending on the brand you use, you may need to add more mix if the batter seems too thin.

Instructions
 

  • In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, banana, pancake mix, and butter until everything is well combined and smooth.
  • Liberally coat a skillet with nonstick oil spray and warm over medium heat. Ladle about ¼ cup batter per pancake and top each pancake with 3-4 thinly sliced strawberries.
  • Cook on each side for 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly golden brown, and the centers are cooked through. Serve with an optional dollop of vanilla yogurt or a drizzle of real maple syrup on top.
