Zone Diet - Perfect Pancakes image

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?

Time 15m

Yield 4-5 pancakes, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup steel cut oats (4C)
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese (2P)
4 egg whites (2P) or 2 eggs (2P)
2 teaspoons peanut butter (4F) or 4 teaspoons sliced almonds (4F)
cinnamon (optional)
nutmeg (optional)
vanilla (optional)
3 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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!
  • Scale as necessary. For a 3 block meal, eat only 3 pancakes.
  • 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.
