Full of protein they take care of the carb cravings and are low cal:

    Interesting. I'll do a macro workup on these and see how they compare to the ones my wife makes, as well as the Met-RX Protein Pancake mix we tried.

    Sounds tasty. I've been doing one with 1 egg, 1 very ripe banana and 3/4 scoop of vanilla protein powder and a dash of cinnamon. I may try adding the oatmeal and see what it does. Have you posted to the recipe database? I have a few tagged under "Darkangel's Recipes".

    I make a similar pancake with 1/3 c. plain quick oats, 1/3 c. low-fat cottage cheese, one egg, and a heavy dash of cinnamon. Mis and cook up in a little butter on a non-stick pan. Yummy!

  • Does anyone know how many pancakes this makes? I'm trying to figure out calories, but don't know how many servings to put. Thanks :)!

    I make mine with 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder (they are protein pancakes, after all) and cocoa powder, then make a peanut butter sandwich out of them :love:

    This sounds AMAZING! I just bought some more frozen blueberries and yogurt. If my eggs are still fresh I think this will be breakfast tomorrow!
  • I remember making something similar years ago but I think it had cottage cheese in it...I want to try this recipe - I just love pancakes and oatmeal, too, so I bet I will like them!

    I made these yesterday and they turned out kind of bland, but I did not have pumpkin. I used cinnamon and vanilla. They had an odd'ish texture, which is to be expected. Also, I blended it in my Vitamix, which was probably overkill, and it ended up being two medium pancakes, which I topped with a blackberry-raspberry compote. Come to think of it, I coated the pan with that butter spray, so maybe that's what affected the texture.

    That being said, this recipe could be a base for something very tasty and healthy. For anyone who ever skis Windham or Hunter NY, there's a Country Store that makes Oatmeal Cottage Cheese pancakes. I believe this could be used for that base.

    So, it served its purpose which was to fulfill my dietary needs, but I would work on jazzing it up. Also, I think the pumpkin addition would probably taste better. I'm looking forward to playing around with this!
