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? Ingredients:
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 smooth cashew butter or 2 teaspoons macadamia nut 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.
