Protein Pancakes

March 16, 2009 by DanicasDaily 3 Comments

This morning I woke up craving pancakes and decided to make one of my favorite quick/filling versions. I actually created this recipe when I was on the CORE program of Weight Watchers. I includes all CORE ingredients (with the exception of the maple flakes). I usually throw this on the stove to cook while I pack up The Husband and my lunches for the day.

You have the option of making this into one huge pancake, 2 medium size or 4 small ones – the choice is yours. I was pretty hungry this morning so I went for one big pancake.

Protein Pancakes

Makes 2 medium pancakes or 1 super huge pancake

½ c ff cottage cheese
½ c uncooked oatmeal (quick cooking or old fashioned)
1 egg
1 egg white
1-2 T ground flax seed
2 T maple flakes (could use agave or sucanat or brown sugar, etc)
Splash of vanilla extract
Dashes of cinnamon & salt

Blend everything together until smooth and creamy. I use my Magic Bullet and it only takes seconds. Cook on a skillet over medium heat (use ns cooking spray or 1 tsp oil) on both sides until browned (about 5 minutes total).

Serve up with your favorite toppings – pure maple syrup, fruit, almond butter, etc – the options are endless.

Total Carbohydrate 21.2 g, Dietary Fiber 3.6 g, Sugars 2.7 g, Protein 15.4 g
WWP’s: 4

I had this fabulous pancake with a about 1 Tbsp Pure Maple Syrup (heated in the microwave for 10 seconds). I love the flavor of the pure syrup and since I do not do any artificial sweetners, the Sugar Free Syrup is out for me. Served up with decaf Starbuck’s Coffe and this was so delicious and filling. I am pretty sure I will not even need my AM snack.

Have a great Monday all! See you for lunch and another product review.

    Hey! I really want to try this recipe but I’m just wondering, if this makes 1 giant pancake, is that still 2 servings? Thanks =)

      Hi Maddy, I eat it as one pancake, but, have made it into 4 littlier pancakes before and ate two. Just divide the nutritional information by the number of servings you choose to make. I have also made it with fresh blueberry syrup (there is another recipe in my recipe section). Good luck and do tell what you think when you make it 🙂

    I make “protein pancakes” with pureed pumpkin! You should try it sometime: pumpkin rocks!! All I do is mix the pumpkin with egg whites (and if you want to add a little vanilla to the mix as well as cinnamon by all means go for it)… and then cook it pancake style… and then when done sprinkle it with stevia & cinnamon & nutmeg!
