Servings: 1 jar

Dietary: Vegetarian, adjustable to Gluten-Free, High Protein

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup quick oats (use gluten-free oats to make this a gluten-free recipe!)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Sweetener of choice, to taste (I use about ¼ tsp stevia)
  • 1/3 cup cottage cheese (I prefer to use 2%)
  • 1/3 cup egg whites
  • Flavouring of choice: my go-to is ½ tsp cinnamon + ¼ tsp vanilla extract. If you’re adding cocoa powder, it will really thicken up the batter so have some sparkling water/club soda on hand to thin it out*
  • 1 tbsp nut butter of choice
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or yogurt of choice - skyr is a personal favourite of mine)
  • ½ cup fruit (I typically use frozen mixed berries, but just about anything works!)

*I use sparkling water in pancakes instead of flat for extra fluffiness, but flat water will work just fine to thin out the batter!

Directions:

  1. In a blender, Magic Bullet, or food processor, add oats, baking powder, sweetener, cottage cheese, egg whites, and flavouring. Blend until smooth (you can leave some oat chunks if you prefer this, but be aware that it will affect the consistency of your batter).
  2. On a non-stick or greased skillet, pour about 1/8 cup of the batter and cook until browned. Flip and brown the other side. Set pancake aside, and repeat with remaining batter.
  3. Line the inside of a jar or tupperware container with nut butter. Add a pancake to the jar/container, top it with some of the yogurt and fruit, then add another pancake. Continue until you’ve used up all your pancakes, yogurt, and fruit.
  4. Tighten the lid to your jar/container, stick in the fridge, and get excited for a delicious, pre-made, on-the-go breakfast in the morning!

Flavour Combos:

  • Vanilla Cinnamon - ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp vanilla
  • Green Tea - 1 tsp matcha powder, ¼ tsp vanilla
  • Dark Chocolate - 1 tbsp cocoa powder + 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips to top while cooking
  • Vanilla Latte - 1 tsp espresso powder, ¼ tsp vanilla
  • Christmas Cookie - ¼ tsp ground ginger, ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • Mocha - ½ tbsp cocoa powder, ½ tsp espresso powder

Meal Prep Tips:

  • I typically multiply the recipe by 6 if I’m meal prepping - be careful with this much of baking powder, the batter will gain a lot of volume so ensure you have a lot of space in your blender.
  • While the pancakes are cooking, I line my jars and containers with nut butter
  • As you make the pancakes, add one to each jar before adding the second
  • This is a really easy meal to assemble while the pancakes are cooking, and the clean-up isn’t bad, so if you’re making enough for the week it should take about an hour total
  • Store in the fridge! (duh)
