    High Protein Oatmeal Pancakes -a breakfast high in protein helps fuel you up and keeps you feeling full longer. Heart healthy and heart-shaped, these High Protein Oatmeal Pancakes swap in oats (instead of flour) and cottage cheese (instead of milk) for a higher protein breakfast option.

    Nothing says Happy Valentines Day!  I love you! more than a heart healthy breakfast (o.k. maybe a big fat diamond ring...but these are way tastier!) {GF, high protein, vegetarian}

    It's not a secret that I'm a kitchen gadget nerd! some people love to shop for fashion, tech, etc....but me? I love kitchen gadgets! The fact that I live within walking distance to Sur la Table, Crate and Barrel, Williams Sonoma...and now the new Whisk ( a cooking school and retail store) that's opening up NEXT DOOR! ohh...trouble! trouble! trouble!....I mean HEAVEN! HEAVEN! HEAVEN!

    Not even possible to pass up these cute heart-shaped pancake rings! You can use them to make pancakes or eggs..or I'm sure a zillion other things! and the fact that they are under 10 bucks! how could you not!(at least that was my rational to myself 🙂 I mean oh course they are great for Valentines day...but really wouldn't every morning be a bit better with heart-shaped breakfast items? (Amazon link for heart shaped pancake/egg rings)

    So easy to use, place the mold on a hot skillet,  add 1/4 cup of the pancake batter and when the batter starts to bubble just lift up the mold. The heart-shaped pancake (or egg)  stays in place and you can flip over as necessary to cook the other side.

    If you're not a gadget person, no worries! you can free form your heart-shaped pancakes or just make traditional round pancakes. These High Protein  Oatmeal pancakes are delicious in any form and will help keep you feeling full for hours.

    If you want to go all out...you could drizzle a little chocolate sauce (or syrup) over the stack of High Protein Oatmeal Pancakes!...now that's amore <3 !
