Zone Diet - Perfect Pancakes

redredrobyn's Note:

This recipe came from my Crossfit Guru Vanessa VDB while we were stationed in Iraq. Hits the spot every time. You can make these ahead of time - they freeze well. Breakfast for dinner?

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 1

Yield: 4.0 pancakes

• ½ cup steel cut oats (4C)
• ½ cup fat-free cottage cheese (2P)
• 4 egg whites (2P) or 2 eggs (2P)
• 2 teaspoons cashew or macadamianut butter or 2 teaspoons peanut butter (4F) or 4 teaspoons sliced almonds (4F)
• cinnamon (optional)
• nutmeg (optional)
• vanilla (optional)
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients in blender until thick batter. For your fat count, either add peanut/cashew/mac butter to your batter or top with sliced/slivered almonds.
2. Cook on griddle just like pancakes with butter flavored non-stick cooking spray until done, approx 3 mins per side on med heat. Add syrup and enjoy!
3. Scale as necessary. For a 3 block meal, eat only 3 pancakes.
4. I personally add 1 tsp of cinnamon & nutmeg and a Tbsp of vanilla, but I like those spices in my pancakes to come loud and strong.

Made these for DH as an after workout dish, and they were a big hit! I used two whole eggs and cashew butter and used vanilla and a generous amount of cinnamon. Topped with maple syrup. I'd really like to eat them myself, but unless I find a sub for cottage cheese I'm afraid I'll only make them for DH again - and that I will for sure! Thanks for posting this recipe.
