Protein-rich pancakes with spinach and egg: what makes them so good

These green pancakes with spinach and cottage cheese are a healthy, protein-rich choice for breakfast or lunch. The combination of egg and cottage cheese provides a high amount of protein, which helps with satiety and muscle recovery. Spinach adds extra vitamins and minerals without overpowering the taste. By adding a small amount of oats or flour, the pancakes get a firm texture while remaining airy. With a spice mix like Habibi Veggie you add extra flavor in one step, without salt.
