    do this.

    1 egg
    1/4c raw oats
    1/2c cottage cheese

    blend till relatively smooth. grease your pan. cook like pancakes. this can easily be doubled - the measurements i gave are actually half of the recipe but it yields a good amount for one person. they come out as a wonderful cross between pancake and french toast texture and they're amazing.

    you're welcome!

    My only advice is to ditch the "healthier" pancakes and just eat the real thing if that's what you want. It wont kill you, I promise. It's all about moderation.

    I love me some pancakes w/ butter and maple syrup.
    This! eat a pancake now and then... or 3. anybody like nutmeg syrup instead of maple?

    My favorites are Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes and the current Ultimate Protein Pancake that is in the recipes forum. So good! The Cottage Cheese one is as follows...

    Cottage Cheese Pancakes

    1 cup cottage cheese
    1 cup oatmeal (quick or old-fashioned)
    4 eggs or 8 egg whites
    (some recipes also call for vanilla and baking powder - I included 1/2 tsp vanilla and no making powder)


    Blend in blender, cook just like pancakes. One serving (1 pancake) has something like 20 - 30 g of protein. All natural, no weird protein powder taste.

    That's because it's not a pancake - it's a protein shake omelette.

    Here's my recipe for protein/low carb pancakes:

    1 cup of almond flour
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    3 eggs
    1/4 tsp vanilla extract, or a bit more if you like
    1 packet of stevia or splenda
    up to 2 tbsp of water

    combine all ingredients except the water and mix until blended
    ad the water just a little at a time until you have pancake batter type consistancy

    drop onto a hot non-stick frying pan or griddle coated with cooking spray or a little canola oil.

    top with sugar free syrup, fruit, whipped cream...whatever you want....these are delicious trust me and VERY filling. if you wanted i suppose you could add in a bit of protein shake powder...but with the 3 eggs and the almond flour they have enough...your body can only utilize so much protein at a time anyways.

    I don't know. I tried some kind of oatmeal-egg white pancake recipe from here, and it was okay, but not a pancake. Honestly, I'd just eat a ****ing pancake and have a protein shake later. Pretend food is just not as good.

    I forgot to add to my recipe...i usually let the batter sit for a minute or two after mixing before cooking...and when i cook i just watch until the edges of the pancake start to dry up and a spatula goes under nicely then flip. these come out really good! they aren't overly eggy at all. i have even tried doing it with only 2 eggs instead of 3 and slightly more water...you can play around with it a bit. These pancakes make it a lot easier for me to stick to my lower carb diet.

    I do these, and sometimes I do flaxseed as well. They're pretty yummy.

    One serving of Oat meal flour (half a cup of regular oats ran through a food processor), one egg, and protien powder. I'd also recommend a little vanilla extract and baking soda or they will be really dense.

    I'd make pancakes to eat, then save the protein for a shake or I'd make pancakes and add a small amount of protein to the mix...Generally tho' I like peanut butter on pancakes, so that is how I get my protein in that meal.

    Time to go shopping me thinks, how thick should the consitency be? Should it be "I aint letting this muder fuding spoon go" thick or should it be "imma wanna be drippier then titanic"?

    Somewhere in the middle... at least for regular pancakes. It should pour with the same consistency as liquid soap, more or less. Thicker will make fluffier pancakes, thinner will make flatter.

    Again, not sure about your "science experiment" pancakes, but for regular pancakes, you pour the batter into a hot, oiled pan, and then wait until the side that you can SEE is full of bubbles. Then, you flip it and cook it for roughly the same amount of time.

    My fav;

    4 eggs
    Box of cottage cheese
    100g oats
    Dash extra skimmed milk
    Pinch of salt

    Mix it in a blender til smooth, leave for 4-5 hours or over night. Makes about 4 thick pancakes, serve either savory (I use a handful of parmesan, herbs, black olives and tabasco) or sweet (honey and cinnamon). Yum.

    Yah. I had me one of those yesterday. *vom*

    I can't seem to get protein baking down either. I try a "delicious" recipe everyone is raving about and... *vom*

    It's so sad, I'm all pumped and excited to try these creations and nothing NOTHING to date has been even moderately bearable. Then I wash the pans and utensils in my own damn tears.

    But I will soldier on and try some of these suggestions. *stiff upper lip*

    Ingredients:
    • 1 cup almond meal
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/4 cup water (for puffier pancakes, you can use sparkling water)
    • 2 T oil
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 T sweetener
    Preparation:
    Mix ingredients together and cook as you would other pancakes. I like to use a non-stick pan with a little oil. The only real difference is that they won't "bubble" on top the same way as regular pancakes. Flip them when the underside is brown.

    Serve with sugar-free maple syrup, Easy Three Berry Syrup, strawberry topping, or other low carb topping.

    Yield: Six 4-inch pancakes

    Nutritional Information: Each pancake has 1 gram effective carbohydrate, plus 2 grams of fibre, 6 grams of protein, and 155 calories.
    They not too bad :)
