BEST Oat Flour Pancakes

Ingredients

• 6 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup rolled oats ((about 40 g) Do NOT use steel cut oats)
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese (Use a Full Fat one)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (OPTIONAL)
• 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder (I used a 100% natural unsweetened cocoa powder)
• 3 Tablespoons coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (OPTIONAL)
• 1 Tablespoon honey (Substitutes: Maple syrup, sugar or powdered Swerve)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt (OPTIONAL)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (bittersweet or dark (or other) )
• 1 Tablespoon coconut oil
• berries

Instructions

1. 1

   For the oat flour pancakes: Combine all the dry and wet ingredients for the pancakes into either a food processor or blender.

2. 2

   Process or blend everything together until smooth!

3. 3

   Then heat a large nonstick skillet (or a hot griddle) over medium and coat well the bottom with non-stick cooking spray.

4. 4

   Pour the blended mixture in (about 1/3 cup per pancake), making sure to not spread the batter out; otherwise, the pancakes will be too thin and not fluffy.

5. 5

   Cook the first side until bubbles form on top (about 2-3 minutes); then flip and cook the other side until it is brown (about 2-3 minutes).

6. 6

   Transfer them to a plate and pile them up as a stack. Drizzle with melted chocolate on top and serve them with berries, or serve with your favorite toppings.

7. 7

   For the chocolate topping: Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir in the coconut oil until smooth and pourable.
