Apple-Cheese Pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup low-fat cottage or
part-skim ricotta cheese
1 1/4 cup apple grated
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour

1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon sunflower seeds or chopped almonds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg or allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 cup egg substitute
4 egg whites

Method

Mix all ingredients together except egg whites.

Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter.
