Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Pancakes:
  • ½ cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tsps freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened milk of choice
  • ghee avocado oil, coconut oil, for greasing pan

  • fresh blueberries
  • fresh mint leaves
  • just ripe bananas sliced
  • To serve:
  • short bamboo cocktail sticks/skewers
  • fresh mint
  • Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
  • maple syrup

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor, add the oats, eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla powder, lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk.
  • Blend just until the mixture is just combined and pureed, around 20-30 sec. You may need to stop halfway to scrape the sides of your blender. Do not over-blend.
  • Allow your batter to rest for a few minutes.
  • Preheat a griddle or a non-stick pan over medium heat and spray or spritz or rub with some oil or ghee.
  • Use about 1 tablespoon of batter for each pancake and scoop onto the hot griddle.
  • Cook for 2 minutes, or until a few bubbles appear on the tops.
  • Flip and continue to cook for a minute or so.
  • You should get around 24 mini pancakes.
  • To assemble your skewers, use short cocktail sticks.
  • First, on a clean cutting board, stack a pancake with a slice of banana, and a couple of blueberries, then top with a second pancake as shown in the photos; no need to press.
  • Repeat with the remaining pancakes and fruits as shown.
  • Thread 3 blueberries onto each skewer and then skewer the center of each stack.
  • Garnish with fresh mint and arrange on a platter.
