Today I'm kicking off Food Week! I'm sharing some of my favorite recipes from Pinterest and from my family... so lets get
I've been looking for a healthier pancake for me and Lil' A and I think I've finally found one that we BOTH liked! Trust me, this hasn't been the easier journey! I've been trying to use more whole foods and less processed foods/ingredients so the few pancakes recipes I've made with this in mind.

My favorite things about this recipe are:
Cottage Cheese and Egg White - I felt like Adam and I were both getting a good amount of protein with this delicious guys
Rolled Oats - I think my heart smiled with this recipe!
Now, I'm not a huge fan of using my blending/food processor just because I'm lazy and try to avoid extra hand washing, but it was worth it for these guys!
They tasted like french toast, had a similar consistency but were a little more gooey in texture. I thought this might detour Lil' A but we each ate our whole serving (I used sugar free syrup, Lil' A had maple syrup) and I was content until lunch time.
So yummy!
I highly recommend these pancakes - if you give them a try, let me know what you think!
Have a great day!
