Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful ladies. I started off the day with a healthy brunch for my family. I baked banana muffins with oatmeal, we had fruit salad made with fresh strawberries, bananas, apples, cantaloupe and oranges, and yogurt. The kids enjoyed this healthy breakfast as did us adults. Here is a recipe i came across for making a healthy and enjoyable breakfast.



CLEAN EATING PANCAKES
1 egg + 2 egg whites (or 1/2 c. if you’re doing egg whites only)
1/2 c. cottage cheese
1/2 c. oats
1/8 tsp. baking powder
1 small ripe banana
Cinnamon
In a blender or food processor, combine egg whites and cottage cheese.  Pulse a few times until blended.
Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Spray skillet with non-stick cooking spray.  Add 1/3 c. of batter to skillet and cook over medium heat until bubbles appear on the surface and edges are set.  Flip and cook a few minutes more until lightly browned.
Makes 4-6 pancakes.
