Prep Time - 15 Minutes --- Cook Time - 1 Hour, 15 Minutes
6 Servings --- Gluten-Free/Vegetarian
Amount Of Ingredients | Ingredients |
2 Large | Sweet Potatoes |
1 1/2 Cups | Low-Fat Cottage Cheese |
1 1/2 Cups | Old Fashioned Oats |
5 Large | Eggs |
4 Large | Egg Whites |
1 Teaspoon | Ground Cinnamon |
1/4 Teaspoon | Ground Nutmeg |
1 1/2 Tablespoons | 100% Maple Syrup |
--- | Cooking Spray |
How To Make The Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes
Preheat the oven to 400F
Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully make a silt lengthwise across the top of each potato. Let them cool for 10 minutes. Scoop the flesh into a blender
Add the cottage cheese, oats, eggs, egg whites, cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup to the blender, and blend until smooth.
Spray a large skillet with the cooking spray and place it over medium heat. When the pan is hot, scoop a heaping 1/3 cup of the batter into the skillet and cook pancakes until they are golden brown and crisp on the bottom, about 4 minutes per side.
Refrigerate: Store the pancakes in resealable containers for up to 1 week. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds or warm up in a toaster oven.
Freeze: Store the pancakes in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds or warm in the toaster oven.
Quick Tip: Don't toss out the golden yolks. Whole eggs, with the yolk, are a perfect protein, providing all the essential amino acids. The yolks contain good-for-you nutrients like vitamins A and D, omega-3 fatty acids, and the antioxidant lutein. Although oats are gluten-free, many brands manufacture them in a facility where gluten-containing products are processed. The package will indicate whether they were processed in a gluten-free facility.

Save Money, Save Time, And Eat Healthy Meals With Meal Prepping
Preparing healthy and delicious meals 3 times a day can be so hard with everything else you have going on in your life. If you are stressed out at work, you have hungry tiny humans at home, need to bring the dog out for a walk, or do the laundry, thinking about food might be the last thing on your mind.
I know the feeling; I’ve been there before. In my case, work and stress exhausted me. But I still wanted myself and the family to eat well.

Benefits Of Meal Prepping
Save Money
By making a meal plan, you’ll be able to waste a lot less food. When you go food shopping, you’ll just buy exactly what you need and won’t be tempted to overspend. Plus, by preparing your own healthy recipes, you’ll save a great deal of money rather than eating out.
Save Time
By spending a few hours chopping fresh veggies and cooking at the weekend, you’ll have more time during the busy week to relax and worry less about what you need to put on your table.
Eat Healthy Meals Every Day
The hungrier you are, the more tempted you get to eat unhealthy food. By meal prepping you’ll know what you are eating every day by cooking healthy food ahead of time. This ensures that you are getting the proper vitamins and nutrients your body needs.
Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be amazed at how a bit of organization can make your life so much easier, and you’ll just ask yourself why you didn’t do this sooner! If you're planning on doing meal prepping for weight loss, you’ll want to check out this article! Lots of helpful tips to get you on the right path.
My Favorite Meal Prep Containers
I love containers that are made of glass. You can see what’s in them. They can be used in microwaves, and they won’t release any chemicals at hot temperatures as plastic containers can.
Meal Prep Bowls with dividers: I love these when I want to separate ingredients, like fruits and nuts from my main meal.
Mason Jars: For salads, overnight oats, and chia puddings.
Glass Bottles: Perfect for soups or smoothies on the go!
