CHOCOLATE-CHIP RASPBERRY PANCAKES

*Breakfast Collection*

Protein-rich nonfat cottage cheese stands in for ricotta in these light custardy pancakes.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups nonfat cottage cheese
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1\4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp orange zest (optional)
1 TB sugar
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 TB chocolate chips
+Nonstick cooking spray
+1-1/2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen

Directions:
1. In a food processor, blend cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, orange zest, if using, and sugar until smooth.

2. Add whole wheat pastry flour and chocolate chips and pulse 2-3 times or until flour is just incorporated (don't over mix).

3. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-heat. When pan is hot enough, pour pancake batter in 1/4 cup servings.

4. When pancakes start to bubble, scatter raspberries over top, and flip to cook the other side, about 1 minute.

COOKING SWAP :)

*Citrus Juices swap instead of salt*

TIP Just a squeeze or two of the fruit will bring out the flavor of your meal, minus the sodium. Make a habit of swapping the salt shaker on your dinner table for a small bowl of sliced lemons or limes when you're eating chicken, rice and vegetable dishes.
