Protein Pancakes

[Las Vegan Cajun]

Here is a healthy alternative to pancakes without using flour.  I got the original recipe out of a Beach Body Insanity Elite Nutrition book.  The changes I made was I substituted 4 egg whites for the Whey protein powder, I used Quaker Steel Cut Oats instead of the instant oatmeal, and I added the vanilla extract, cinnamon, Stevia, and Agave Nectar. 

The main ingredients.
4 egg whites
1 whole egg, cage free
1 serving (1/4 cup) steel cut oats, cooked according to directions
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 package (1g) Stevia sweetner (not pictured)
1 Tbsp Agave Nectar



1) Cook the steel cut oats according to the directions
2) Seperate the 4 egg whites, discard the yolks
3) Add the 1 whole egg
4) Add in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, Stevia and scramble throughly
5) Add in the cooked steel cut oats and mix well
5) Pour into medium hot skillet, I use a non-stick with a very light spray of cooking spray



6) Cook at medium low until set enough to flip over



7) Remove from pan and pour on top the Agave Nectar

They look real good.  How do they taste?

They taste much better with the added flavoring I put in them, has the oatmeal texture tase, which is not bad.  The original recipe was really bland so I fixed it up without ruining the nutritional value of the meal.

Same here, my last visit to the doctor a month ago was not as good as I had hoped it would be.  Blood tests went the wrong direction, everything was going north, my weight, cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure was up.  I was given a warning that my current Rx would have to have dosages increased and additional Rx would be necessary if I don't get things under control in the next 3 months.  I see the doctor again in June so I'm working my butt off to get things under control by then.

Yeah it makes reading the LTBBQ website a challange, I read a good recipe that was posted and want to try it then reality sets in and out comes the skinless chicken breast and steamed/grilled vegetables.   Hopefully if all goes well with the next doctor visit the WSM will see a few racks of ribs and pork butts.

Thanks, 24 Hour Fitness has become my new hangout.  I still read the LTBBQ website while on the elliptical, it causes me to sweat and salivate at the same time.

Thanks, I've lost 12 pounds in the past 6 weeks, 18 more to go.  Also if you choose to use instant oatmeal you won't need the Stevia, vanilla extract, and cinnamon, there will be enough flavor from the the instant oatmeal.  I still added the Agave Nectar when I did use the instant oatmeal, but now I use the steel cut instead.
