Start your day (although nothing wrong with pancakes for supper!) with this protein boosted treat with blueberries to pack an antioxidant punch. Maximize nutrition by topping with a lightly sweetened greek yogurt and chopped nuts for more protein, fiber and omega-3 healthy fat:

1⅓ cup wholewheat flour

⅓ cup sugar

1½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

2 large eggs

1 cup cottage cheese

¾ cup milk

2 tsp freshly grated lemon zest

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cup blueberries

Whisk together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk eggs, cottage cheese, milk, lemon zest and vanilla until well blended. Combine dry and wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in blueberries. Cook 1/4 cup at a time in a lightly oiled skillet at medium heat until bottom is golden brown (3-4 minutes). Flip, cook the other side and enjoy!
