INGREDIENTS:

INGREDIENT NOTES:

LOW-FAT COTTAGE CHEESE:

  • As the core element in this recipe is cottage cheese, we will be using that. For this Weight Watchers recipe, we need to use a low-fat one so that the calories do not rise too much. Another option to use can be fat-free cottage cheese.

EGG:

  • Since we are making pancake bites, we need something to create a shape for them. An egg is actually useful and helpful in doing that. Another idea can be flax egg instead.

OAT FLOUR:

  • Oat flour has a lighter consistency than normal flour, so we use this in a Weight Watchers recipe. The snack will become satisfying through its use. Pancake bites will also become softer when we use oat flour. Almond flour can be a substitute idea, but keep track of your points if using it.

STRAWBERRIES:

  • One of the main ingredients in this snack recipe is strawberries. These will give moisture to the pancake bites. Be sure that you cut them neatly and into tiny pieces. Raspberries can also be an option to consider.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • This will also be the main flavor in this recipe, as there is vanilla in the recipe name too. The scent of the pancake bites will improve when we add it. Also, the overall taste of this recipe will be enhanced. Vanilla powder can also be an alternative idea.

BAKING POWDER:

  • Lifting of the pancake bites in the oven needs baking powder. Softness comes along when we use baking powder in this snack recipe.

SALT:

  • We will be using salt basically to remove any extra amount of sweet taste in the pancake bites. Remove this ingredient if you like.

ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:

  • This is actually an optional item to use in this recipe. You can use it to improve the sweet taste of the pancake bites.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Warm your oven to 180°C.
  2. Take the mini muffin tin and use a bit of non-stick spray on it.
  3. Use a bowl to include cottage cheese in it, and crush it using a fork.
  4. Then, include the large egg and mix the complete mixture to make it smoother.
  5. Then comes the rest of the items except the strawberries.
  6. Combine everything properly.
  7. Carefully include the cut strawberries in the batter and fold them.
  8. Start adding this batter in the mini muffin tin in every cup, about ¾.
  9. Baking duration will be 12 minutes for these pancake bites.
  10. Cool them down, and then you can eat them.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • A great recommendation is pairing strawberry pieces with this snack.
  • You can consider including some yogurt (fat-free) with these bites.
  • Another option can be adding some syrup (sugar-free) on top of the bites.
  • Use some powdered sweetener to decorate the bites.

TIPS:

  • Rather than just mixing, you can also blend the pancake mix.
  • When adding the batter to the muffin cups, be sure not to add a lot of it.
