Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup peeled, roughly chopped carrots or baby carrots
- 2 cups whole oats
- ½ cup Fresh Spinach Leaves
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
- ¼ cup milk, plus ¼ cup as needed (I used 1% milk)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 apple, peeled and roughly chopped (if you have a high speed blender you can leave the peel on the apple)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, carrots, oats, spinach, cocoa, 1/4 cup milk, honey, vanilla and apple into a high quality blender. Blend on high until the mixture is very smooth, about 1 minute. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional 1/4 cup milk and blend.
- Add the eggs and pulse to incorporate.
- Add the baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Pulse again to combine.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Heat a pancake griddle or skillet over medium-low heat. Grease or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Using a ¼-cup measure, pour the pancake batter onto the heated skillet. Cook the pancakes on one side until large bubbles appear, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and finish cooking on the other side, about 1 minute.
