High Protein Cottage Cheese and Oatmeal pancakes

1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup frozen, warmed berries with their juices as a topping or sugar free syrup
Splenda to taste

1. Blend first four ingredients until smooth (I use the magic bullet; if you use a blender be sure to put the wet ingredients in first). Pour approximately 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto heated griddle or non-stick pan (check to see if its hot enough with a splash of water-if it sizzles, its hot enough).
2. When pancake bubbles, flip and cook the other side.
Top with frozen strawberries, warmed and sliced and poured over the top with their juices. Or substitute fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or bananas.  You can use Splenda to taste.

Makes 2 Servings (Three ¼ cup pancakes with ¼ cup strawberries)
