South Beach Oatmeal Pancake

TheDancingCook's Note:

This big pancake can be eaten during Phase II of the diet and is very filling. You can use a low sugar syrup if you would like; I prefer it with just a few spritzes of trans free margarine spray and a few sprinkles of Splenda. This recipe is courtesy of The South Beach Diet book.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal, uncooked
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:

1. In a blender or a food processor, blend together all ingredients until smooth.
2. Spray a medium sized skillet with cooking spray and set heat to medium.
3. Add the pancake batter to skillet and cook until sides are lightly browned.
4. Top with a low sugar syrup, trans free butter and/or a few sprinkles of a sugar substitute and serve with fresh fruit; blueberries or strawberries are allowed and would go nicely.

I added some oat flour to thinken it to be more like pancake batter and 1/4 Bakeing powder.

We made these the other weekend for our family of all ages even up to 92! They were a HUGE hit! We served them with Fage Greek Yogurt, fresh fruit and Agave syrup. To the recipe we added Stevia for sweetness and no nutmeg but next time I will put it in the recipe. Enjoy...YUM!

Holy. Moly. I was really depressed because I'm on Weight Watchers right now and wanted pancakes. Regular pancakes aren't very point conducive, so I was super happy to find this recipe. I made it, using firm tofu. I didn't have nutmeg, so I used a little bit of extra cinnamon. They're absolutely delicious! I topped it with Smuckers Low Sugar marmalade, and it made a fantastic, low point breakfast (only 4 points). They were super filling, too. THanks for posting the recipe! Next time I'm going to try it with the cottage cheese to see if it's good too.
