Cottage cheese pancakes

I’ll admit it, I have a sweet tooth – or two. I have always preferred sweet breakfasts. Growing up, that consisted of Nutella on hearty buns or croissants, alternated with cereal. However, breakfast cereals and Nutella are extremely high in added sugars – and are digested so quickly that they don’t fill you up. Now, I am mindful of where the sugars in my breakfast come from. Common breakfast options include (chocolate) oatmeal sweetened with a ripe banana, a fruity protein smoothie bowl, or homemade pancakes topped with fruit and my low-sugar chocolate sauce.

My breakfasts now have a balance of carbohydrates (like natural sugars), healthy fats, and protein. On weekends when I have extra time, I love treating myself to these healthy cottage cheese pancakes.
