BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE : Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes

On a blustery winter day, breakfast in bed is sometimes the perfect way to spend the morning. This weekend we stayed in, curled up in bed, and enjoyed Cottage Cheese Pancakes. So, without further adieu, here's the recipe for my current favorite, high-protein-yet-super-sweet, meal:

**Note to self, this is a healthy recipe:). To keep it healthy, don't smother your pancakes with high-fructose syrup. Try Agave Nectar instead. It's sold a sweetener however as a Breakfast Pro., I think it works perfectly for syrup. It's usually made organically and is low on the glycemic index.

For Blueberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes you will need:

1/2 cup flour, whole-wheat pastry
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup cottage cheese, low-fat
slightly less than 1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 tablespoon honey

1/2 cup fresh blueberries

In a large bowl, stir together flour and baking soda. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, milk, eggs, and honey. Stir wet ingredients into dry ones.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Working in batches, drop pancake mixture by 1/4 cupfuls into pan. Individually place about 10 blueberries in each pancake. Cook until bottoms are set and tops have small bubbles, about 1 minute. Turn pancakes and cook until just firm in the center, 1 to 3 minutes more. Repeat.

Now... get back into bed!
