Pancake Glory
For the past week, I've been researching different pancake recipes all over the internet. I managed to combine the recipes and add a bit of my own stuff. I chose the ingredients most readily found in the house. This way, it is easy to make and hopefully there is no need for anyone to buy anything new.
The taste of the pancake is a bit off from what you expect a normal pancake to taste. The texture is pretty close though. I would rate this at a 6/10. I enjoyed it very much because it was a change from the boring bowl of oatmeal or eggs for breakfast. This healthy pancake recipe adds variety and a balanced breakfast for those who miss the originals. The bottom line is that it does taste amazing but more like a very good protein shake pancake. It would be a whole lot better with sugar free maple syrup, but it did not have this in the house.
INGREDIENTS (per serving)
- 1/2 Cup of Low Fat Cottage Cheese
- 1/2-3/4 Cup of Rolled Quaker Oats
- 1 Scoop of Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
- 2 TSP of Cocoa
- 1 TSP of Cinnamon
- 1 Packet of Splenda
- 1 Whole Egg [Add 1-2 egg whites to this if you want it to taste better/more like a pancake, remove shell]
- 1/4 Cup of Milk [Add just a bit of milk to get the thing mixing, less milk = thicker batter] or 1 TBSP of Milk
PROCEDURE
- Put all ingredients into a blender.
- Mix until into a consistent batter.
- Pour batter onto a skillet on medium heat over the stove.
- Flip the pancake after about a minute, just look to make sure it is cooked
OPTIONAL TOPPING
- Try sprinkling a packet of Splenda on top as "makeshift" powdered sugar.
- Use sugar free maple syrup.
- Spread peanut butter on top.
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS
- Instead of Splenda, add 1/4 cup of sugar free maple syrup or a small amount of brown sugar. [I didn't have this]
- Replace oats with quarter block of Tofu, for lower carbs.
- Add banana/berries.
- 1 TSP of Baking Powder
- 1 TSP of Salt
