THE BIGGEST LOSER PANCAKES

So, you know Pinterest? Right. I don’t know about you, but I have about a million recipes I need to try- after all, I’ve pinned, so I’ve committed, right? (You do have our recipes pinned, yes? Yes? Have you tried them yet? Yes?? Yes??!!??) 
Well, I’m a little OCD, and when I have free time I will always choose organizing over sleeping. It’s an addiction. I hate clutter. Pinterest included. I want to go through all my recipes and actually try them out! Are they worth pinning? Keeping? Sharing? I’ve posted here on Butter once before about my Pinterest tries (wow, impressive Amanda. Once! [Does that mean I have to type Pinterest “try” instead of “tries?”]). 
Since I still haven’t worked up to dinners-worth-pinning-post-baby, I’ll take baby steps in making mini meals and snacks.
Today? It was Biggest Loser pancakes (original recipe found here).
Oh! And this is all in a healthy attempt to try and lose that baby weight, which is mostly “I-can’t-stop-eating-Cadbury-pre-during-and-post-Easter” weight.
(It’s another issue, I know. I’m a mess.)
Voila! 

Biggest Loser Pancakes

(Adapted from Biggest Loser Recipes)

6 egg whites
1 c oats
1 c cottage cheese
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
*10 chocolate chips optional
In a blender (I used my Magic Bullet), blend all ingredients until smooth. Spray and heat non-stick skillet. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle. Add 1 chocolate chip*. Flip. Makes about 10 pancakes. (I garnished with berries & a shake of powdered sugar.)
*See, I added the chocolate chip to entice my 3-year-old to eat. Little did I know, she’d gobble them up chocolate chip-less! Nom nom nom.
 
The verdict?
Ok, I was a total naysayer- I seriously stared at my oat + egg + cottage cheese concoction and grimaced. I did! BUT, they were amazing. Like, incredible! They were a little wet (cottage cheese?) so I kept them cooking a bit longer, and problem solved. My favorite part? They reminded me of a perfect combo of pancakes + crepes (we all know my feelings about crepes)- fluffy yet moist and dense… if that makes sense? (A rhyme! Delightful.)
Pinterest discovery re-creation #2? Total success! I give this one 9.5/10. (Just because a perfect 10 seems too perfect.)
