Blueberry Oat Pancakes with Maple Yogurt


So it's been a while, my apologies ! But I've been trying out some new recipes, and I want to share them with you.
I just subcribed to Health magazine, and I got my first issue the other day. Love it! They had a section sharing some recipes from the Carb Lover's Diet, so I decided to try them out.
This recipe was the first one I tried. I have many things to say about it, LOL.
First of all, Keith and the kids loved it. I mean loved it. I doubled the recipe to freeze half, and guess what. I've got two pancakes left, LOL. They have been eating them every morning, and even grabbing one cold to nibble on as a snack! I personally didn't love them :) I mean, I wouldn't make them again for myself. I will obviously be making them again for everyone else ;) Just not sure why I didn't love them, weird consistency to me, not pancake enough like, they are heartier obviously and I don't know!
Next, the maple yogurt topping (or pancake frosting, as Mairi dubbed it!) was a huge hit. In fact, Mairi and Eli both consumed the rest of the yogurt with maple syrup on it's own, and we also made up some more, threw it in the ice cream maker and had maple frozen yogurt :) A nice change from attempting to not drown your pancakes in syrup and be content with the 2tsp of syrup you get, HA!!!
Lastly I used mixed berries not just blueberries, as a point of note :) I like that this has simple ingredients and is super fast. I was hoping to share how they froze and reanimated but since we didn't get that far, maybe next time!

Blueberry oat pancakes with maple yogurt

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries
3/4 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Cooking spray

Combine oats, cottage cheese, eggs and vanilla in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Gently stir in the blueberries. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Spoon about 2 tablespoons batter per pancake into pan. Cook 3 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over, and cook 3 more minutes or until golden.

Combine yogurt and maple syrup; serve alongside pancakes.

Chicken Wing Dip

Seems like there's many varieties and ways to make this-this is what I do, and Keith loves it-I think it's pretty good too, but I can only eat so much of it, it's kinda greasy and I don't know...good but I like it in a buffet eating it with a LOT of other stuff, not as a main course or anything. Keith disagrees :) Thanks to BETH for introducing us to this magical dip LOL Chicken Wing Dip 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup wing sauce of your choice (we use Frank's) 1 cup bleu cheese 2 cups diced cooked chicken 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese preheat the oven to 350 In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and sauce until well blended. Mix in the bleu cheese, chicken and Cheddar cheese. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. If oil collects on the top, dab it off using a paper towel. Serve with tortilla chips.
